Safe to remove speaker?

Alright, imagine you're looking at a motherboard. See the little round speaker? Imagine that's attached to a front panel. 

 

Alright, so here's my real question.

 

I'm trying to troubleshoot a server, but the beeping coming from that speaker messes with me and I can't focus with it beeping. Is it safe to remove it or would it cause additional problems?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

No problem. Yank it out.

Alright, I figured, but was just wanting to make sure. If need be I can put it back in or replace it with an equivalent resistor.

umm.. the beeping is supposed to help you to find what's wrong with the system:

No, the world is gonna explode.

 

 

Yes, it's perfectly safe to remove it but keep in mind that you won't be able to receive error codes after you do this.

I need S340. But more Define S'ish

It'd be nice if was an actual code, but as you read, it's not on the motherboard. I looked what I could up, and already knew what it was telling me. Something was wrong... It's a front panel speaker, and there's already a led for that.

Luckily it has LEDs to tell me that something's wrong as well, I just don't need the additional deafness.

Ahh, thanks. Almost made a horrible mistake. Might have bricked it if I didn't see this.
