Most of the cards have their own built in speaker that will signal you with a beep system. Off the top of my head it's: 3 second beep one second break when a drive dies and while it's rebuilding 1 second beep 3 second break after it's done rebuilding If I'm not mistaken, that dell has a megaraid 428 in it. I can say that from experience the beeping is really frelling annoying. A lot of OEM's elect to turn the speaker off in the config. You should ctrl+m during boot and turn it back on. My megaraid 1300 has been awesome so far. The only issue is that for some reason I couldn't get into the config from the boot prompt. I had to download a disk image of a win98 boot disk, and spend a saturday afternoon finding MEGACONF.exe for DOS. Hope this helps. -- Best Regards, S.A.Wilson "The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, or better' so I installed FreeBSD."
