Poweredge 1600sc Continuous Beeps
When the server was rebooted recently it began to beep continuously...and still is. I have gone into the Dell Openmanage software and nothing is indicating a problem. In fact, nothing has changed. This is driving me NUTS. It boots to Win2k server no problem. Ran diagnostics...no errors

There could be a couple of different options - Important - are you getting the beeping before or after the Windows screen? If it starts AFTER the Windows screen, it is not the server hardware. In this case, it is a driver - you should be able to type net stop beep at the command prompt and turn it off or boot to Safe Mode and have no beeping. Could also be your UPS hardware - listen carefully - is it definitely coming from the server?
Hardware: RAID controller - PERC 4 puts off a once-per-second beep. See link below to find out why.
Best method - check Server Adminstrator - hardware logs can show you the hardware problem, if there is one. If it is a hard drive, then you can see which one. If you don't have it installed already, download the file below and run to extract it. After it is extracted, run C:\Openmanage\windows\setup.exe. Choose the Custom installation and make sure that Storage Management (and all subfeatures) is being installed.
