I installed a new battery and then system starts beeping continuously

These beep error codes may help you.
1. Four beeps every 30 seconds (On Battery LEDwill be illuminated)
This alarm indicates that the Battery Power Suppliedoutlets are now supplying battery power as opposed to power from the utility.If the UPS determines that the input utility power is unsafe for your computerequipment, the UPS will switch to battery power.
Note: Ifthe power disturbance is brief, you may only hear one or two beeps.

2. Continuous Beeping (On Battery LED will beilluminated)
This alarm indicates that a Low Battery condition hasbeen reached and that the UPS will soon shutdown. Once the UPS transfers to OnBattery operation, it can only stay on battery for a limited amount of time.The UPS will sound this alarm about two minutes before the batteries aretotally exhausted. Once exhausted, the UPS will shutdown and turn off itsoutput power to your equipment. If you hear this tone you should immediatelyshutdown your computer to prevent data loss or corruption.

3. Continuous Beeps for 30 seconds (Back UPSOFFICE 250 and 280 ONLY)
This alarm indicates the unit has detected an Overloadcondition after it has performed a self-test during start-up.

4. Continuous Two-Tone Beep

System Beep Codes The Inspiron™ 531 / 531s system can emit a series of beeps during start-up if the display cannot show errors or problems. These series of beeps, called beep codes, identify various problems. One possible beep code consists of repetitive three short beeps. This beep code indicates the computer encountered a possible system board failure.
The series of beeps has a 3-second delay before it repeats. The series and delays continually loop until you press the power button.
Code Description Suggested Remedy 1 BIOS ROM checksum in progress or failure System board failure; covers BIOS corruption or ROM error 2 No memory modules detected

1. If you have two or more memory modules installed, remove the modules, reinstall one module, and then restart the computer. If the computer starts normally, reinstall an additional module. Continue until you have identified a faulty module or reinstalled all modules without error.
2. If available, install a good memory module of the same type into the computer.
3. If the problem persists, contact Dell.

3 Chipset error (North and Southbridge chipset, DMA/IMR/Timer Error for Intel® platform); chipset error System board failure. Power LED is blinking amber. Time-Of-Day Clock test failure Gate A20 failure Super I/O chip failure Keyboard controller test failure 4 RAM read/write failure

1. Ensure no special memory module/memory connector placement requirements exist.
2. Verify the memory modules you are installing are compatible with the computer.
3. If the problem persists, contact Dell.

5 Real time clock failure. Possible battery failure or system board failure.

1. Replace the battery.
2. If the problem persists, contact Dell.

6 Video BIOS test failure Video card failure 7 CPU cache test failure Processor failure

did you leave it plugged in to let it charge? ups's will beep continuosly till they are charged, if it has dead battery packs inside, it will continue to beep because there is no battery charge to support its job. leave it plugged in for 2 hours. if it doesnot stop beeping, toss it and get a new ups

I have the same problem. Any one know a solution?

• Take out batteries and unplug powerstrip.
• Let it sit for 1 minute, then put the batteries back in and wait another minute.

I contacted customer support... they tell me the FAQ information on their own website is incorrect. The opposite is true, therefore the following is correct:

• If it does not beep, the powerboard needs to be replaced
• If the unit continues to beep, the keypad needs to be replaced

Here in Canada, they will send you a new one within 3-5 days free of charge. Call customer support:

Canada: 800-501-9471
US: 800-677-LOCK


The woman was very friendly. Great customer support!

hi

If it is showing the red light and continuous beep it shows that the battery is completely gone.

You can buy a battery and replace it by yourself.

Or get it to a professional to change the battery.

you need not replace the whole UPS its just a battery problem.

Thank you

Hi,
Was the ups charge? If it was not charge, have charge for a couple of hours means that with no computer attached or computer off.
If still continues have a new battery.
Thanks

I install these panels.  For the low battery message to clear you need to power the system down completely.  To do this you need to unplug the battery and also unplug the transformer plugged into an electrical outlet.  When you power the system back up, you need to first plug in the battery leads.  Then the transformer.
