These beeps are standard on most motherboards, but of course some manufacturers don't do it like the others and modify the bios. In that case, head over to this site!

Bringing this topic back up, very interesting
watch out though, the beeps depend on the bios version (and especially the brand)
for example, for Phoenix bios, it's a beep sequence on the recent versions, a sequence whose meaning will differ from the older versions
