Hi all -- We just got in a V880 and it's a lot louder than we think it
should be. Thought I'd ask what other people with similar machines were
seeing as far as fan speeds go.
This machine has 4x750MHz CPUs and is fully populated with 12 drives. We
only have 3 cards: PGX64, QFE, and another FC-AL host adapter. The ambient
room temp is about 72 deg F. Here's what kind of fan speeds we're seeing
after the OS is booted (taken via /usr/platform/sun4u/sbin/prtdiag -v):
Bank Speed Status Fan State
( RPMS )
---- -------- --------- ---------
CPU0_PRIM_FAN 2941 [ENABLED] OK
CPU1_PRIM_FAN 2884 [ENABLED] OK
CPU0_SEC_FAN 0 [DISABLED] OK
CPU1_SEC_FAN 0 [DISABLED] OK
IO0_PRIM_FAN 4054 [ENABLED] OK
IO1_PRIM_FAN 4000 [ENABLED] OK
IO0_SEC_FAN 0 [DISABLED] OK
IO1_SEC_FAN 0 [DISABLED] OK
IO_BRIDGE_PRIM_FAN 3614 [ENABLED] OK
IO_BRIDGE_SEC_FAN 0 [DISABLED] OK
According to the "Site Planning Guide for Entry Level Servers" that Sun puts
out, the V880 is supposed to run at 4.7 bels and an E450 at 4.9 bels. The
V880 is a *lot* noisier than our E450, which seems odd given the noise specs
from Sun's book.
Just wondering if anybody can send me the prtdiag output for the fan banks
on their V880. Thanks a bunch!
P.S. - Here's the temp output for comparison:
