Thanks for your response.

I'm hoping it's just a chassis alarm for a case fan.   It looks like my 
chassis has that capability.
I only have a single CPU 12 disk box with a 750w (I believe) PSU so I 
think it's not overloaded.   Also the alarm came on at idle.

I'm waiting for the next occurrence to see if I can diagnose further.
