this error is basically telling you that fan 2 is either dead or not spinning at the correct RPM's which means it needs to be replaced. Usually there is a diagram inside the cover that will tell you which fan is fan # 2
Write down service tag and express service code from server label.
Call Dell. PowerEdge servers come with lifetime phone support.
I think the number is: (800) 945-3355
Have you checked boot device options....from BIOS
Use F9 during boot to goto ROM-BIOS and change Boot device option to CDROM/DVDROM.
Insert Boot media or DVD-Win2003, to DVD-ROM device..
reboot Server, try now
If still issue.. Check to boot Server using some other media..
if other cd media works, then it could be DVD-Win2003 faulty, otherwise download firmware for CD/DVDROM and upgrade it and check if DVDROM works, otherwise you have to contact Dell Support..
When a Dell server beeps in every 3-5 second that mean it comes from Raid controller. Dell calls PERC Controller. It usually reason of a disk failure.
Install open manage server administrator on your server. See which disks are failed ?
Try to run Power edge diagnostics on the failed disk. If it passes the test reseat the disk. if it fails disk has to be replaced with a new one. If passes the quick test, reseat the disk and update disk + perc firmware and driver to the latest level. that will solve the problem!!
99% beeping comes from perc controller because of a failed HDD
