Precision 3600 - Just stopped - now has 1 2 3 on front panel ??
Having some problems with an older T3610 workstation (2013). Today it just stopped working...
When I boot it - I do not hear any post beeps - the machine lights up '4' and then '3', '4' - then the amber '2' is lit. Then the hard drive icon blinks for a minute - then '1', '2', '3' amber lights come on in the front panel - and the machine just sits there...
Any thoughts as to what is going on? I checked the manual and it says that 1, 2, 3 is reserved... Which does not tell me a lot...
The machine has a Xeon processor, mirrored 3TB opsys drive and 32 GB of memory.

So by what I can read :
4 : bios checksum invalid
3.4 : ram configuration in progress
2 : pci configuration in progress
1.2.3 : Indicates routine system activity subsequent to video initialization
Have you ever changed the cmos battery ? if not, try to change it and lets see if it solves it

Hello Mazzinia. Thank you very much. That was indeed part of the problem.
When I replaced the battery - it would boot further. The raid 1 setup was gone - and then both hard drives failed... However, as this was just a media server - I was able to get Windows re-installed and the media server up and running fairly quickly.
Much appreciate you taking the time to reply.
As a thank you - check out www.disktriage.com - send us an email - and I will happily give you an Expert level license. Best tool (at least I think so) for analyzing your windows storage (or anything Windows can read). Just send an email to either sales or support! Have a great day!

Mazzinia,
I have replied to your email twice - and I am not sure you got it. This last time I got an error on the email
Do you have another email address? I would like to deliver that license key to you.

Hello,
I don’t know why the other email is acting up… it’s the main national provider here. I should have used gmail to play safer, I guess, but the other was closer to the username of the forum so...
email sent
