Hello,
I’ve got a client with a very quiet office where we have installed an XGS 107. Even though it is in the closet, they can hear a whining noise from it that winds up every couple of seconds or so, and then down again. I can hear it as well. It is a very low volume, but penetrates somehow, if that makes sense. In a server room or behind a heavy door it probably would not be noticeable.
This is my first XGS unit so I don’t know if this is normal. I do know that I never heard this sound from any of the XG units I have deployed.
my questions are;
had anybody else noticed this noise?
What is the likely source? I can’t tell if it is a fan or HDD. I would suspect that any drive is solid state, which would leave just fan.
Is this normal? Might there be any settings I could tweak to reduce noise? Possibly need an enclosure of some sort to dampen the noise?
thanks.
