Alarm buzzer paerns
Other alarm patterns include three short buzzes followed by a longer silence, then repeated (example number 2
above). This can indicate a serious problem that requires immediate action such as high enclosure temperature or

a physical drive problem, or a power supply problem. Check the event log for more information.
