Hello, I just bought a brand new rack mount server and it's to loud!

How do I turn it down?


Thanks :)

Servers are designed to be maintained inside an air-conditioned room.
If you are running it, inside your garage or in a not well ventilated room.
Expect the FAN to be a lot louder.

Servers are designed to run efficient. You shouldn´t run it where it needs to be quiet...

In addition, turning down the fan is a terrible idea, it will lead to a premature failure of the hardware due to overheating.

Move it to somewhere well ventilated, that should keep the heat down and make the fans run less. Or just move it to somewhere that no one goes.
