Just normal single beep meaning 'all-ok'.

 

[LinuxBuilder]

Thanks for answering and helping me out...

Not single..it's like 1 long - 4 short..with different tones/notes...nah??? I might be paranoid!! I dont know latest AMI sounds and first time user of Supermicro board.....listen carefully...you think it's normal really ? seems like a sequence ! Mmmmmmm... Watch this other video when I'm rebooting and show the entire boot sequence....normal would just be 1 *beep*....

Let me know what you think.

Peace

 

[DRagor]

Nope, it's definitely single beep. With any beep sequence, you can easily hear 'breaks' or 'pauses', when no sound is heard. No such thing in your sound.

ok I feel better...,
I did send a message with the links to Supermicro support... Lets see what they think as well...

on my other PC I only hear a single (b3333p)... I admit it's not like a real definite sequence....mmmm I might be paranoid !

Thanks again ! Have a good one !
