I thought this was handled by the firmware/driver. I have an older OEM
version (ADAC Ultra) that has an onboard speaker and tone generator for
drive events and errors.
On a related issue, AMI released their MegaManager utility for Linux so
you don't need to bring down the server for array
maintenance/configuration. See the press release (next to the Penguin, of
course) at http://www.megaraid.com/. The software can be downloaded from:
ftp://ftp.megatrends.com/MegaRaid/Drivers/linux/linux.zip
The above ZIP file contains the v1.01 driver and MegaManager utility
(beta).
