Beeping at start-up on my P4P800 Deluxe

I'm hearing quite a few beeps when my P4P800 starts. It
used to just one beep. Now I hear 4 short beeps goes like
"Beep Beep Beep Beep". A half-second pause between the
first beep and the next three beeps. My computer starts
fine but I have a lot of devices installed. I wonder if
it's telling me anything.

The older versions of the BIOS would beep for each USB device installed.
