server How to make my server beep when an error occurres?

[Clearly Confused]

So i have a server and i was wondering how to make the internal speakers produce a beep (you know, the one that occurres when you rip your ram out) when theres an error?

You should Be able to Turn your Speaker "On" in your Servers BIOS.

Is there a software for that, or a BIOS update?

Yes, but the speaker only activates when i rip my ram out. So i know for sure that it's working.

What BIOS Version die you use ?

does it have a beeper speaker?

if not check the pcb for the pin header labeled "speaker" or an aberration of it

if you don't have one and your mb has passed the sentence above then get one:

It will beep for errors, just probably not the errors you want it to beep for.

 

What conditions do you think should cause it to beep? If you are thinking every time Windows has an error, it isn't there for that purpose.

fyi powershell can do it, just type:

[console]::beep(2000,300)

into the console and hit enter. first number is pitch (1000-8000 seems audible) 2nd is duration.

 

So I assume bash and other native CLI's can do it. 

 

This is assuming you have a pc speaker connected.

It does, but its ON the motherboard, without the dongle.

then it should be in the BIOS, look around everywhere you can until you see it

There is an option to turn it on when theres a hardware failure, which is not what i need it to do.

there is an ASCII character that does a beep

echo -ne '\007'

should work on any system, just do a cron to watch your logs for whatever error it is you want to beep

Is there some sort of software that keeps track of your errors and beeps whenever there is one?

On Windows, Event Manager.
