Silence alarm of LSI MegaRaid SAS 9260-8i

Hello Experts.

Is there a simple way to remotely silence the disk failure alarm of the
LSI MegaRaid SAS 9260-8i, there is a disk failure and needs to be replaced.

The new disk is on the way but because the server is in the room next to the office
it is driving the people crazy.

Thats unfortunate,  

But the alarm is there for a reason i explained to them, so i am afraid i am not going to resort
to cutting the wires, if it where possible to do it easy i would, but i am afraid they have to listen to it one or two more day(s).

Thanks.
I would then suggest they get a hot spare, or a replacement for the next drive that will inevitably fail.   If they don't like the noise, and have the next replacement in a cabinet a few feet away then they'll only have to listen to it beep for a minute or so

Thats exactly what we are going to suggest, i cannot predict the next beep, it can be years away
but if they don't want a "beep", put a spare disk on the shelf, it's no waste, eventually it's needed to expand the raidset, and they can decide again to have a spare on the shelf.
and it's not that far fetched, half a year ago hd of this type was hard to get and very expensive.

This can happen again. so it makes sense to have a extra disk.
Can happen?   100% of disk drives fail .. eventually.
