Just got a pair of 6450-48P switches (paid $150/ea, hope I didn't overpay...) and got them all setup. Wanting to reduce fan noise a bit but I'm a little overwhelmed by the varying suggestions and the age of most comments. It seems a good chunk of suggestions are working around shortages etc that I don't know exist any longer.
Is there a current go to fan that anyone could suggest? Should I replace all 3 in each switch?
OR
I see a reference to removing the fans entirely if I'm not using a full POE load. I'm only using 2 ports with POE, (1 af device, 1 at device).
Would I want to just unplug all of the fans? Leave one plugged in?
Should they be physically removed or does it matter?
What temps are acceptable in this situation?
Thanks!
