UGH! Server Constantly Beeping!


Recommended Posts

I have a gateway 9510 Server and since the last reboot it started beeping and it wont stop. I notice before this happen, I was checking out the HDs that were in the server. I check this site out http://www.winvistatips.com/why-windows-2003-server-keep-beeping-no-reason-t666248.html and it appears to be the same issue as mine. If it is because of down grading raid, how do I check it or what? Please help you guys :(

You should have software from gateway thats installed on your system if its windows to check the array from within windows. Your server should also have lights with each hdd that will show if a hdd is broken. If not usually you have to hit control s ,control i , or control m when the raid controllers bios boots up to get into the raid firmware which will also tell you if there i a raid problem.

This is kinda funny. Posting for help about a server that beeps! It sounds like a theme for an episode of The IT Crowd. :D

Seriously, no offense intended, (i really do mean that) but if you can't diagnose a beep code, you probably have no business maintaining or even touching servers. If this thing holds anything critically important to you keeping your job, bring a pro in! (Y)

    • I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.
    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
