My firwall had a hardware failure, so I threw the drive into a Dell
PowerEdge 650. That worked fine, but now I can hear the fans
screaming down the hall through a closed door. Other than hardware
changes (like a resistor or a non-1U server), is there anything I can
do to shut this machine up? Does anyone know if the fans in this
machine would idle down on a "supported" OS?
It's running 4.6, FWIW.
We have a poweredge 700 tower running 4.2 and the bios takes care of the
big fan it has. The same is true for a 1900 tower with 4.5.
You should check the bios, maybe something like "automatic fan control"
is disabled.
