Agreed it's most likely the SATA controller which HP SMH won't pick up on as it isn't a HP one.

check also if the sound does come from a speaker, or from another device - it can be fan, or a bearing, or even a touching wire

Hi working with HP Proliant ML310 G4, Windows Server 2003 SBS SP2<br />
<br />
RAID Controller died and would not boot so I replaced it with a PCI-X SATA RAID card and it worked beautifully. About a week later I get a call that the server has started chipring constantly like &quot;a bird is in the server cage with it&quot; according to the lady sitting closest to the server closet.<br />
<br />
I tried to find beeping/diagnostic codes on HP website but all it refers to is the POST beeping. Any clue where I can find out what this noise means? I'm sure we need to do something about it. Going on-site today to see if it's their APC Battery backup units perhaps or something. Any other tips greatly appreciated.

HP Proliant ML310 G4 chirping or beeping constantly. Still running... What is it?

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

Hardware includes cell phones and other digital living devices, tablets, computers, servers, peripherals and components, printers and scanners, gaming consoles, networking hardware such as routers, hubs, switches and modems, storage devices and security equipment such as firewalls and other appliances.

Hardware

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
