HP Z2 Small Form Factor G5 Workstation (9FW01AV)

When I have a PCI-e graphics card in the system, on power-on it will repeat three long and three short beeps a few times.  During the beeping, there's a normal single beep and the system boots up like normal but the power button led continues flashing red.  I cannot access the bios with a PCI-e graphics card installed.

  • I've updated the bios to latest using the network update option in the bios settings. 
  • I've tried re-seating the graphics card
  • and swapping it for another nvidia graphics card
  • If I remove any PCI-e graphics card and use the embedded graphics, there is no beeping and everything works as it should. 

How do I get it to stop beeping on power up and how do I determine what issue is that's causing this?
