IBM 286 Help Request

A friend gave me his old IBM 286 which I'd like to revive for my wife's use. When I power on, a red light indicates the machine is looking at the 5.25 floppy drive, then I hear two beeps, and nothing at all appears on the screen. I'm thinking that maybe the BIOS somehow got trashed but I don't have a clue what to do about it. I don't think there's anything wrong with the monitor. I think the computer just doesn't seem to know it has a hard drive and monitor connected. Any advice would be sincerely appreciated. I tried removing and reseating all the cards because that's sometimes solved problems when I had my own 286, but it didn't do any good with this machine. Thanks in advance.
