I have a Dell PowerEdge C6100, I’ve stripped out 3 of the nodes and I’m down to only using one. I’ve taken out 3 of the fans to reduce noise and left one fan for the single remaining node.
I would like to reduce the noise even further, I've been searching the internet and haven't found a very reliable source of information for this specific model.
This is a 2U server with dual power supplies, it currently has two 3.5" HDDs in it, and one node (with two quad core xeon CPUs and four sticks of 2GB DDR2 RAM that I’ve spaced out over the 8 memory slots to aid in cooling).
Any suggestions for reducing the noise level?
