It should have an audible alert

That said, email alerts from OMSA have a longer range than the builtin 
alarm.

I'm not exactly sure of the compatibility of different controllers to 
replace the PERC 5/i, though I think that PERC 5/i, PERC 6/i, SAS 5/i 
and SAS 6/i all can go in the internal slot in a 2950 and provide 
varying features.
