I found a ROMPaq for the DL320 (ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp23501-24000/SP23767.txt and ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/softpaq/sp23501-24000/SP23767.exe) which "Added a ROM Based Setup Utility (RBSU) feature that allows the user to slow down the default system fan speed".
Sure enough, after I applied the update, I was able to change "default fan speed" from "normal" to "low".
However, the volume of the sound only went from "very loud" to "loud".
I know the system can run quietly. When I boot off the SmartStart CD (release 6.10), the sound goes from "loud" to "quiet" - even before SmartStart has finished loading (e.g., the fans get quiet before it asks me to pick a language).
The DL360 thread mentions maintenance switch S3. It's off by default on the DL320, but the position of this switch doesn't have any effect on this noise (e.g., the sound is either "very loud" or "loud" regardless of S3's position).
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jim
P.S. I've installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES on this system. I haven't done anything beyond the base install, but I haven't had any problems so far.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Noise problem DL320 G2
HP lists a different driver for Red Hat, but not for 9.0 only up to 8.0... see this @
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/18522.html
I do not know if it would work but I guess worth a try (backup first....!)

Re: Noise problem DL320 G2
If you have can you let me know what your results were, mine was 92db(a)which is over the second action level of the noise regs.
Thanks...Darrell

Re: Noise problem DL320 G2
HP's Quickspecs (current version just downloaded attached) lists Page 29 acoutsic specs.
IMHO , altho I don't understand the metrics, if yours is significantly outwith the spec I would have thought your resller (or HP if Direct) should fix it....

Re: Noise problem DL320 G2
Thanks for replying, I'd found and read the attached Tech Spec but never understood the figures either, they look like nothing we would use.
Can anyone help us out here.
