GA-3CESL-RH (rev.1.4) recovery

[krzysiaczek99]

Hello everybody,

It came to my hands old GA-3CESL-RH (rev.1.4) but unfortunately I can't start it. The fan starts, no keyboard leds, no beeps, no voltage on USB ports. CPU and memory are OK, tested in another servers. Only beeps which I get are 3short, 1 long, 4short 3 short in case when I open BIOS recovery jumper. Any idea how to proceed ??

BTW anybody knows how this BIOS recovery procedure works ??

Board was for a years, stored, BIOS battery was dead, now i replaced it.

Krzysztof

GA-3CESL-RH has Phoenix BIOS, see beep codes for it here: http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/phoenixbeep.htm, I'm not sure from your description which it would be.

You can find manual and BIOS downloads for it here: http://b2b.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2658#manual

If nobody else provides more helpful reply, I guess you can also google "phoenix BIOS recovery". Good luck!

Mind sharing your full system's specs? Pertaining to your BIOS recovery it's for the latter generations of boards but you may want to give this a try:

I would advise caution because it seems you don't know what you're doing.

First off look at the board and see if you can find any indication of the BIOS. If it's an AMI BIOS board, there should be a sticker saying so. We can then look through this error beep list:
