To silence a sounding alarm (or to disable or enable the alarm), you must use the
Alarm Control selection in one of the HP NetRAID management utilities. To
reach the Alarm Control setting do the following:
•
In HP NetRAID Assistant, select the Adapter menu, then Alarm Control.
•
In HP NetRAID Config, select Objects, then Adapter, then Alarm
Control.
•
In HP NetRAID Express Tools, select Objects, then Adapter, then Alarm
Control.
Alarm Control has two options:
•
Enable/Disable Alarm: Choose this option to enable or disable the
onboard tone generator. The default setting is Enabled.
•
Silence Alarm: This setting stops the alarm when it goes off.
