Resolution

The side panel must be installed when the computer is in use and powered on

As the notification sticker on the computer states, the side panel must be installed when the computer is in use and powered on. Failure to do so will result in the unit powering off and generating the 3 slow and 7 fast beeps.

To prevent any data loss, ensure the access panel/top cover is in place when the computer is powered on or in use.
