My TrueNAS computer (HP Z420) is beeping non-stop.

@rasterweb Does it beep also during the power-on self-test, while sitting waiting in the boot loader, or only after the OS and software is up and running?
Is it a continuous sound, or is it repeating beeps interspersed with silence? (Beep-beep-beep-beep or beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…)
@mkj Rapid beeping that never stops: beep beep beep beep beep really fast.

My TrueNAS computer (HP Z420) is beeping non-stop. The TrueNAS interface doesn’t show anything wrong, I’ve rebooted and it’s still beeping. (Maybe I should try a shutdown?)
I don’t know enough about PC hardware to know what’s going on…
@rasterweb Quizás la batería (pila de botón) de la placa base?

@rasterweb It's starting a band

@rasterweb Huh. I would definitely start looking in the direction of beep codes and see if there's a pattern that matches anything documented for the motherboard. Something you *could* try in the meantime is to check all component seating. Maybe there's something that's slightly loose and the system is detecting this? Is there a BIOS intrusion detection setting that needs resetting?
I'm not familiar at all with that system but that's where I would start looking, at least.

@rasterweb any keyboard or usb device connected to it that you can unplug?

@rasterweb check with the HP support page and search for z420 and beep codes
It’s the mainboard trying to talk to you
could be a broken fan or something like that -

Luckily there is a button to press to turn off the UPS beeping. It shows a battery error, which is worrisome as the UPS isn't even a year old yet.
I wonder if the cold of the basement is causing an issue.

The battery temperature would have to be near freezing, if not below, to cause a problem. It's likely the UPS has detected an actual problem with the battery (low voltage, probably) during one of its regular self-tests.
It's under warranty? Should be good for a replacement battery, and if not warranty, then they're pretty cheap if you do it yourself.

@cazabon Hmm, battery seems back to normal, fully charged now and error/alert is gone.

️Wait for another alarm, I guess? What brand is the UPS?
