Having some fun on an old DL380 G6
Pretty solid machine, better than new generation of HP server in terms of build quality! Also a old 2950 switch behind!
What? I can’t hear you over that airplane.
Did you work on one of those, because it's pretty silent, fans at around 13-15% when using the right drives
I moved up to G8s a while back. 3 DL360G8 for ESXi hosts, and a DL380G8 for TrueNAS SAN host. Downgraded one of the old ESXi hosts (360G7) to backup server. With 5 servers running, it's not quiet. One running isn't that loud, but I wouldn't want it on a common space still :)
Have you installed the fan controller hacked firmware on those?
Plus, 360 are 1u right? So it's a bit more noizy yeah
I did not change the systems in anyway other than any HP firmware updates I could get to most current.
360 is dual socket 1U. 380 is dual socket 2U. 580 is quad socket 4U
Just be cautious that the HP backplane can sometimes reject non-hp drives at random with a sensor error for a sensor that doesn't exist...
I can hear this picture.
