Fans very loud

[rbowker]

We are switching all of our 6450's over to 6560-P48X4's and 6560-P48Z16's and unfortunately our building has a lot of these switches in "zone boxes" in offices/classrooms instead of data closets. We have found that the 6560s are much louder than the 6450s. We also have one in particular that is pretty full (45/48 ports in use, plus ports 49 and 50) and it is super loud.

Is there anything that can be done about this?

The solution is to buy OS6360, up to 24 ports. They are fanless.

OS6560 are not meant to be placed into zone boxes.
