Re: chirping noise from new i5

It does sound like maybe the UPS was turned on, and when the batteries got 
low it started the warning chirp, which would eventually end when the 
batteries drained.

yes - new machine arrived yesterday & all i did was unpack server and
put it & boxes in corner. Chirping started shortly after. Every 4-5 
minutes
for about an hour, and sounds like a failing UPS or smoke alarm (or a
cricket..).
It stopped about hour or so later (..wish i had never posted the 
question..)
I now think it was a real cricket, not uncommon in NC. This box sat in
freight forward warehouse for many days over holiday.
