May I just say that having too many devices that beep is going to drive me absolutely bananas real soon now. I was in our shiny new server room this morning and I kept hearing a beep from the rack, which was behind me. I looked in the rack, and two of the servers, one Dell 1950 and 1 Dell 2950, have blinking main LED indicators. I looked in our monitoring software, I poked around on the machines themselves, and I sent out an email mentioning the unexplained beeping and the blinking LEDs. I finished what I was doing and walked out the door. As I was locking the door, I heard the beep again, in the hallway. So I stood around like an idiot waiting to hear it again - longest 30 seconds of my week, I tell you. One professor walked by while I was just standing there listening to nothing, and she gave me the oddest look as she walked by. Turns out my pager had gone off while I was elbow-deep in the rack, and now it was beeping to tell me that I hadn't looked at its message.
Stupid pager.

Doesn't change the fact that two servers have blinking indicator lights, though, so at least it made me look at them.
