Continuous Beeping

I have a PowerEdge 2850 with Windows Server 2003 installed. I was attempting to attach an external SCSI hard drive array when I experienced a power outage in the building. After it came up I wanted to setup the array again but the server wont stop beeping. The beeping begins as soon as it finishes loading the SCSI controller. I am not experiencing any error lights on the power supplies, fans, or drives. I looked in the BIOS and turned the speaker to OFF, but it still is beeping. How can I disable the beeping? Is there a way to unplug it?

You need to go into the BIOS for the RAID controller itself.
During post you should see you SCSI or RAID controller initializing saying hit cntrl-m to configure. In the Config Utility go to Adapter and in this menu you should be able to find "Alarm" -> Silence Alarm
