When I cold start the Vostro (200 ST), there's a short beep.
When I warm start (ie re-boot) a running Vostro, there's no beep when it re-boots.
When I enter the BIOS setup and then exit to boot, there's a short beep.
The beep codes are listed here:

The list ist not too clear, though: It says
Code (repetive short beeps)
... but then starts the list with number 1, which means one but no "repetive short beeps" (plural). Furthermore I can't imagine that a single beep is an error. Nearly all PCs I ever used beeped at boot-time.
