dual DVI card with a single monitor

I just purchased a computer that has a NVIDIA Quadro FX1400 graphics card
with dual DVI outputs. I just have a single monitor (a 23" LCD with DVI
input) that I want to use for now, so I connected the monitor to one of the
DVI outputs. Although the video looked fine, the computer at first emitted
some beeps, and then a continuous tone, as if something wasn't connected.
Except for the tone, everything looked fine. I was wondering if it could be
an issue with the second DVI output not being used. Does anyone know? This
is my first experience with DVI and dual head cards, so I'm just guessing.

Thanks for any help.

Just wanted to post back that I found the problem. Turns out it wasn't the
computer beeping but the UPS that sits behind it. Duh! I guess the new
computer was drawing more power than the UPS likes!

Sorry for the needless post.
