Continuous short beeps. Despite the fact that it states in the manual you do not have to use both ram slots I have now installed ram in both and it works perfect.

I suspect either a misprint or maybe even the wrong manual. Perhaps the manual covers a couple of variations on the board, but it doesnt seem to add up to me.

what TYPE of RAM ?
did you add an IDENTICAL stick into each rack ?

and beep codes generally have a double beep repeated as a RAM fault indicator

sometimes a Mo/Bo will allow you to drop in RAM that is within spec,and will accomodate it

some WILL NOT
and yes, some Mo/Bo's require PAIRED RAM to be entered

so Mo/Bo details and RAM details please
I know you added details in post #1
but they were a touch aneamic
try :
manufacturer details and part #, plus anyting else you can think of

the more the merrier
