Hi Marcel,

If the alarm is coming from the MegaRAID, you can either:

Browse to the server's VSMC web page (http://

or

ssh into the server and use this command:

/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli -adpsetprop AlarmSilence -aALL

Hi Dirk,

Thanks man

one more question, is there any other thing besides raid/power causing the server to generate the alarm?

Thanks,

Marcel

Hi Marcel,

During the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS will check for problems. If a problem is found, the BIOS will activate an alarm, turn on LED indicators or display a message on the monitor.

For example these are know to result in audible alerts:

1 long and two short beeps - video configuration error

1 continuous long beep - overheat (Overheat LED will be on)

1 long beep and 1 short pause - memory not detected

There may be others as well. For example, a problem with the keyboard (like stuck key) may also result in an audible alert.

Best is to check the POST error on the monitor and/or check the system LEDs if you want to be sure what's causing the alert.

Sincerely,

Dirk Christeaens
