Oh my gawd! I've been going at this from a memory issue :( 'k, stupid question before I write off the memory issue perspective (since I have Kingston ready to take the whole server and do tests on it) ... I'm running the SE7520JR2ATAD2 motherboard, with an ICP-Vortex RAID controller .. the 'beeps' happen just after the 'BIOS Lan Console' pops on the screen, and *long* before the ICP-Vortex RAID controller BIOS does ... which is why I never thought RAID controller ... Is there an onboard RAID controller or something that these Beeps pertain to?
