Acoustic Mode

To reduce the noise level of the chassis during run-time, you can configure the chassis to five different acoustic modes.

Figure 1. Acoustic Mode Selection
Acoustic Mode Selection

  1. Select the mode from the drop-down menu according to your preference.

    • None: Fan speeds change as required for optimal cooling

    • Mode 1: Highest acoustics attenuation (lowest cooling). System fan speed is capped at 28% duty (7.5 bels)

    • Mode 2: Higher acoustics attenuation. System fan speed is capped at 34% duty (7.8 bels)

    • Mode 3: Low acoustics attenuation (higher cooling). System fan speed is capped at 40% duty (8.1 bels)

  2. Click on Apply after choosing the acoustic mode from the drop-down menu to activate the setting.

    Note

    • Acoustic modes can only apply to the entire chassis as a whole

    • When acoustic modes are applied, nodes workload is also capped to avoid over-heating

    • If there is power or thermal demanding configuration in the chassis, acoustic mode is automatically disabled
