80 Troubleshooting
Table 6-8 lists the critical and warning events, severity levels of the events, and audible codes.
NOTE: If the PERC 5/E alarm was already beeping due to a previous failure and a new virtual disk is created on the
same controller, then the previous alarm will be silenced. This is expected behavior.
