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.
The integrated HP NetRAID controller does not have alarm
control or audible warnings.
