UPS clicking -- 3rd slave hard disk error press F1 to resume

UPS clicking -- 3rd slave hard disk error press F1 to resume

The UPS is about five feet away. The computer case is about 2.5 feet away and somewhat in a line with the UPS. I cannot tell for sure where the click was coming from . . .

I thought it must be the UPS It is a repeated clicking, very audible, perhaps around once per second, sometimes as many as ten times or more. It clicks during start-up and is associated with the 3rd slave drive error. Do you think it is the hard drive making the clicking sound?
