2.3.5.1 Audible Alarm
The audible alarm will beep when a drive has failed and it will beep during a rebuild. The drive
failure alarm beeps as follows:
 Degraded array: Short tone, one second on, one second off.
 Failed array: Long tone, three seconds on, one second off.
 Hot spare commissioned: Short tone, one second on, three seconds off.
The drive failure tones repeat until the problem is corrected or until the alarm is silenced or
disabled. The alarm can be silenced or disabled on the controller’s properties page in the BIOS
Console or by using the failed drive options pane in the Intel® RAID Web Console 2.
 Silencing the alarm is temporary, the alarm will sound again when an additional failure is
detected or when the system is rebooted and the failure still exists.
 Disabling the alarm is persistent across errors and reboots, the alarm will remain
disabled until it is re-enabled.
The build alarm tone functions differently. It remains on during the rebuild. After the rebuild
completes, an alarm with a different tone will sound, signaling the completion of the rebuild. This
is a one-time, non-repeating, tone.
