If your chassis is the RM41416, or similar to it, then there'll be an
'alarm silence' button on the front. A bent paperclip will tell you if it's
the chassis or PSU screaming.

Is your PSU overloaded? I found that with 16x 7200RPM SAS disks and a dual
socket motherboard with a "triple redundant" PSU, the total power
consumption measured at the plug socket was something like 550W idle, 680W
at full tilt.
