The alarm board is located under the internal disk drive housing. The alarm module
provides system detection functions that monitor the entire status of the computer
system, including: thermal conditions, fans, power supply and HDD operation. Any
problems with the system are reported through audible alarms and LED indicators.
The alarm board makes an audible alarm when:
a. Any power supply module of the redundant power supply fails.
b. One of the cooling fans fails.
c. The temperature inside the chassis is too high.
To stop the alarm beep, simply press the Alarm Reset button and then take the nec-
essary action to fix it.
