asked on

high pitch sound from server or APC Smart-UPS

I have a Dell PowerEdge R730XD Windows 2012 Standard server tag number HDXG082 and a APC Smart-UPS SMX2000RMLV2U

I came in this morning and I hear a high pitch sound coming from either the server or APC which are right next to each other

I shutdown the server and unplugged both power supplies that are on the server to see if this would stop the high pitch
it did not, I did this because I was thinking maybe my controller is going out.

I'm thinking it maybe my APC.

any suggestions are appreciated

O-boy
it's not the Power Edge R730XD or the APC it's an older PowerEdge SC1420 running Server 2003

any suggestion in finding what is causing this sound?
