Hello All,
I recently acquired a new system for expanding my NAS and aside from the inability to see or control the chassis fans its awesome, low power, fits my 14tb drives and aside from some network drivers it works right out of the gate. The only problem I have is that it's really really LOUD, like "WHY ARE WE ALL YELLING" loud. It throws an error on boot saying the bios can't control the fans because no fans are connected, but they run at 100% it seems. I've updated the bios and BCM firmware and still neither can see the fans to do any type of management on them. Since it's an ebay purchase and I'm not an enterprise customer getting any info from dell is impossible, so here I am.
Has anyone had any experience with this setup? If so can they point me in a direction on how to quiet it down a bit?

Any help or direction is greatly appreciated. Its currently 3/4ths populated with disks and everything temp wise is far below any threshold.. using hddtemp the hottest drive is 32(c), and its one of the 7200rpm's.
Thanks in advance
