Dear Athena Hotline,
                    lancaster.mit.edu (one of the new Indy
R5000's in 66-070) is making an intermittant high pitched
tone. (about C above middle C) The tone lasts for between a
few seconds to a minute or so. The gaps between the tone
are a minute or two (sometimes longer). The noise does not 
seem to be affecting the operation of the computer but is 
distracting to the users of the cluster.

The source of the noise is a little difficult to locate but
I'm pretty sure its coming from the blue/teal cpu box. It
happens whether or not someone is logged in.

Could you please help. - Thanks.

If you have any questions, please feel free to send email to 
10compta@mit.edu. 

Regards,
        Peter Nelson
