Hi all. I've never used Xeon CPU's before. This 'might' be normal, but I doubt it. Mobo is a SuperMicro S2DGU w/TWO PII 450/1mb Xeon CPU's on board. Nothing is hooked up to it except for the CPU's, memory & video card. It's not even in a case yet. Since no HD is connected, it just goes through POST. Every time it's shut down (powered off) via either switch on the power supply or mobo header, there is a loud squeal. I thought it was the supply, but it's not, I changed it. I cannot tell where it's coming from; whether it's one of the CPU's (both were sealed retail boxed), or the mobo. Having never used a Xeon before, I thought I'd ask if this sound is normal (but like I said) I doubt it is. Could the power supplies be doing this because they are over burdened? One is 350 watt P4 approved, the other is 300 watt P4 & Athlon approved. Manual for the mobo says any PC 2.01 supply will work. Mobo was *allegedly* brand new, but it was obvious the damn thing was a return since the CPU terminator was opened and already installed. Manual was also dog-eared. (got it from the jerks @greatpcsonline.com, who will not answer email OR the phone....STAY AWAY FROM THEM!).
