Hi ,
1) This server is a G3 , latest is G5 . It is outdated unsupported equipment.
2) Your continuous beeps on boot up with no video seems to indicate VGA card problem . Just put in another cheap VGA card and retest.
Good luck on solving your problems , hope I have helped you.

check ram
try hitting f8 on boot see if you can get into safe mode?
if u can then try running chkdsk /f in dos mode
if that doesnt work run a scan in safe mode

NO PC told at all and posted to Proliant server forum that is no PC and as such the OS is not allowed there w10 nor does it have sound chips, at all, its a server running in huge dark, no humans server farm..... so let me guess you posted to wrong forum and never told PC model sure. so windows sounds work in the test in control panel yes ! the, MP3 is complex, it can be from high data rate, source and will not play unless converted . one thing to try is use this free app called Audacity https://www.audacityteam.org/ then play it or convert it or buy a USB sound dac that can decode any sound file on earth or learn to test you PC first windows sounds work then in google type simple MP3 sound test https://file-examples.com/index.php/sample-audio-files/sample-mp3-download/ works good above so your MP3 is no good or wrong bit rate. if fails yours only , buy new DAC USB dongle now it plays them all if windows sounds are dead the sound driver is missing or on a server there is no sound chips oops. buy the DAC dongle. if only 1 MP3 fails out of 100's find a better one or buy a DAC.

Have you connected a CD drive to the machine via one of the SATA ports?

When you turn it on, does the fan come on? How about the hard drive? There is a serries of tests called POST. I amc4rying to find out what starts up and see where the problem is.

You need to be specific about the exact model of server that you're using. Features of the various generations of the HP iLO are accessed in different ways. BE SPECIFIC.

That drive has failed, is it set up with a RAID configuration? Do you have the Dell monitoring software installed? Is it set up with Hot Plug drives? If so replacing the drive with a new one will start the RAID rebuild. Otherwise one way to turn off the bleep is to reboot and go into the RAID controller configuration

It Indicating something Faulty, if you have something plugged in, remove, and reconnect, If unable to find, check device manager or event log for details, that should have some info.

What happens when you try to attach them

If you lost everything then you've obviously reloaded all your software for the server, now you need to load your daily backup tapes onto the server so you can have mail again. you will also need to know all of your DNS's and you MX records if you're running exchange and if you don't know how to do any of it, then my suggestion is to hire a network administrator and it'll cost between $1k - $1.5k by time he's done bringing your system back online.

Test the UPS. The server will stay up as long as there is power and has not overheated, should it be a cool room.

How big is your UPS backup. Small home / office only last a few hours before the battery drains. Their role is to allow time to save work and shut properly. Large enterprise UPS's last longer, but are dependent on battery bank size and configuration.
