So far so good but they are still in a fairly simple configuration. Power is not too bad. 20 ports populated on the Base-T version plus a 40gbps port populated and 174w combined at the PDU.

Must be awesome having the new switches. It looks like they actually have good support in terms of having the firmware publicly available and easy to get to. I picked up a pair of LB4Ms that had the routing image on them but it's rather painful trying to find anything else.
That power consumption looks pretty good too @ 9W/port. What's the baseline power consumption without any active ports?

Unfortunately they went into production too fast. Hopefully I can get figures for the SFP+ switch tonight.
Really, I am very glad to hear that. Maybe next time, I will think about using this switch.
Quanta does have fan speed control, but these are meant to be data center switches, and we use them in a data center. No idea on sound but compared to blade chassis and GPU compute chassis it would be hard to hear almost anything.
They are *loud* if you load them up. They fan speed on my LY9 does cover a huge range, but when the switch gets warm you can hear the damn thing through several walls. I would not recommend for home use w/o impressive degree of noise control measures in place.
I only tried it on the desk in moy office off and on for a few days before I figured it was set up "enough" and put it in the data center to finish experimentation there away from me.
