Mac IIx Boot Problem

When I start my Mac IIx, instead of booting I get a scale of one long chime
followed by four shorter ones, rising in pitch.  Does anyone know what this
means?  The Mac was shipped cross country recently, maybe this caused it? I
tried obvious things like using the reset button,reseating internal connectors,
and trying to boot with everything disconnected except for power.  Any help
you can give is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Gary Carvell
