Are you sure 1962 is the error number? I can't find that one on Error Codes Withe Problem Source Listing (http://www.pctusa.com/pcerror.htm) If it makes more than one beep, you may be able to find that on the same page. One beep means the BIOS is happy, more than one means problems.

Check BIOS and see what the boot sequence is set to. On most computers it should be either A;C, or C; A. Some also include SCSI or CD ROM options, those can be included and the computer will still boot to A or C first, whether those drives are installed or not. If you need help with BIOS check my site posted below, you'll find links to BIOS guides there.

If the computers have been stored for an extended time you may need to replace CMOS batteries, try that too.
