ML110-G4 Noise ?

Hi,

Can anyone advise how noisy is the ML110-G4 during normal operation?

For example, would it be quiet enough to run in a bedroom/study/office?

The product quickspecs quotes an operating noise of 6.0 BELS - is that loud?

Any advise much appreciated...

I run the ML110 in my study, where I don't notice the noise.

In your bedroom you might notice the noise for a few days, but after that not worry about it.

- in fact, the "white noise" might help you go to sleep better

Don't forget that you will need a sound card or USB speakers if you want to use it as a regular PC.

Also, you should install extra memory, so that you have matched pairs of DIMMs. As supplied, the ML110 has only a single DIMM fitted.

This will improve the performance of the overall system by 10-25%

From the quickspecs...
Acoustic Noise Idle
(Fixed Disk Drives Spinning)
L WAd (BELS) 5.5
Operating
(Random Seeks to Fixed Disks)
L WAd (BELS) 6.0

There hisg fan speed when the server is powered on, it lasts for about 15 seconds. Then they would go lower and the "noice" is barelly noticeable.
You heve a question... I have an aswer!!!
