1367000 2014-02-06 22:42:00 So, its from Jan 2008, cant use it in production now as the front fan are so loud..and I cant get any software to control the fans period.....Have 2 x 450 SAS and 4 x 600 SAS 2.5 disks, 2 x E5345 2.33 Quad Xeons, and 24GB RAM....Raid contorller is E401 embedded...

I also have MSA50 shelf for 10 disks.....running on mini SAS connector which fits in with the P800 on my ML350 G5 at home....so thought I would replace the spare PSU with a DL unit, same spare part!, and change out the CPUs and RAM.....will have to get a decent UPD, as I need some more power points....

I will probably put my 5130 dual cores in this 380 and see if I can get rid of it....damn shame about the fans on these....

1367001 2014-02-06 23:24:00 If its only the fan noise, have you looked into changing the fans ? They make good dust collectors :)

The following link is for overseas but cheap enough for the sake of a otherwise good unit ?

www.thecomputerpartstore.com

Otherwise store.emprgroup.co.nz (http:) may have them.

1367002 2014-02-06 23:39:00 LOL, those fan will cost $150 here, already looked at it...but wow, they are cheap to replace in the States eh?..... SolMiester (139)
1367003 2014-02-07 00:55:00 $150 still isn't to bad if the rest of the unit has a decent life left. Thats unless they "need" a new one ;) wainuitech (129)
1367004 2014-02-07 01:53:00 Really, $150 per fan?, outrageous....there is 6 to replace.....however im not sure replacing them will reduce the noise....its more the air passing through the front that makes the sound...at any rate, I have the ML350, which will take the E5345s, along with the the other parts....

1367005 2014-02-07 02:01:00 Sorry my bad :xmouth: I thought you meant $150 for the whole assembly / Fans. wainuitech (129)
1367006 2014-02-07 03:47:00 bugger, looks like early revision boards wont take the E5345!!!....disappointed, cant even use all the RAM! SolMiester (139)
