<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>I believe this is expected behavior during the recon process--this is the optical drive "checking in" to the inventory process. The same noise occurs during wake from sleep on these computers, right? I don't think this is anything to worry about, simply the way the optical drives run a sort of POST. Can anyone verify if this is correct?<br><br>Jay</div><div><br>On Oct 2, 2009, at 17:16, "Steve Wood" <<a href="mailto:swood@integer.com">swood@integer.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>I see it when kicking of a manual recon (jamf recon), but I don't see it on the 15 minute policy recons.<br clear="all"><br>Steve Wood<br>Director of IT<br><a href="mailto:swood@integer.com"><a href="mailto:swood@integer.com">swood@integer.com</a></a> <br><br>
