HP StorageWorks X1000 G2 is noisy, fans are running at high speed

the unit was installed some months back. some days back it became noisy, fans are running at high speed. the server room is enough cold, there is no amber light and no indication of error in system management page. still server is accessable.

Hi,

our new X1600 (AP789B) is also very noisy. Is this normal?

Under the preinstalled Windows with all HP Agents it is not quieter.

Re: HP StorageWorks X1000 G2 is noisy, fans are running at high speed

I have just recieved one of these units (X1600 G2)

 

its stupidly loud. on boot is is fairly noisy, then dueing post it calms down as expected

 

then in windows (storage server 2008 r2 built in) it goes crazy and wont stop until shutdown or rebooted

 

i have worked with proliants for years and this isnt right. any ideas?!

BIOS update made no difference. its the loudest thing in our data centre (200 servers)

is there any info on this issue?

 

I just received one of these devices, an HP x1600 G2 NAS, and the fan noise is insane.

 

I cant find any settings to adjust the fans like there usually is in the bios as well.

 

please give us some feedback on this!
