Asus A7N266-VM problem,

Asus A7N266-VM problem, wont boot.
I have just purchased a Asus A7N266-VM motherboard. I have assembled it
altogether but it wont boot. I know all the cpu, memory and hard drive are
good because they are taken from another PC.

My problem is, when the pc powers up I get no beeps for a round 10 seconds,
then I get what can only be described as a siren sound( something like a old
English ambulance).

I have read the manual but it mentions nothing about this. I am not happy
with the manual as it is poor. It shows the cmos jumper in the manual but
there is no jumper on the board, you have to short the two points on the
board with something like a paper clip. It has the cpu jumper settings in
the manual show 133 as default, but nearly every site I have searched on
says the manual is wrong and the jumpers should be at the end setting?

Can anyone shed any light on the siren sound?

The older manuals ARE wrong.
The mobo is delivered with 133mhz set for both cpu and ram
With the mobo oriented with the CPU at the top
The jumpers read left to right 1,2,3
For 133 cpu and ram, jumper both to 1 & 2
For 100 cpu and ram, Bsel 0 to 1 & 2, Bsel 1 to 2 & 3
For 133 cpu and 100 ram, Bsel 0 to 2 & 3, Bsel 1 to 1 & 2
For 100 cpu and 133 ram, jumper both to 2 & 3.
I've found shorting the CLRTC pads unreliable, so remove the power cable
and the battery and leave overnight.
The siren sound I can't help you with.
