Strange startup beeping

jonf_01
Hi,

I've recently installed ASG v8 Home Use Edition on one of my spare computers (see below for specifications).  One thing that confuses me is why the hell it beeps five times after each boot-up (this is not a one-off, either).  As far as I can tell it doesn't appear to be signalling any errors as everything seems to be working without a hitch.  Is this normal [:S]?  Perhaps it's just a countdown mechanism to tell me when it's ready?

Dell Optiplex GX280
Pentium 4 HT @ 2.8GHz
2GB RAM
80GB HDD


Regards,

Jon.

    That's it.  It's comical if this isn't in the installation instructions!
