Useful Thoughts and Actions Taken

These small diameter tray form factor server fans have to spin like jet engines to keep the server cool.  I set them up with but high rise fans sticking out like a blower on a hemi.  That quieted them down.

Notes

• Rackable Systems Phantom 4
• Motherboard in the servers
• Bought from McClean Surplus on ebay

Noise reduction for development server

• Use Xeon heat sinks rising up above case lid
• Use low noise 40mm fans qty=4 in place of the stock 25 cfm units:  FAN DC AXIAL 12V 40X28 TAC OUT – FFB0412SHN-F00
• Socket = 604 with pins – appears 603 and 604 series heatsinks will both work

Parts for solution = high rise heat sink with fan on both cpu's

• Cooljag JAC268A   Cooljag
• Low Noise parts – Acousticpc
• #1 Xeon Heatsink / fan on ebay – low cost seller
• Better description on item of #1
• A similar fan with acoustic rating of 30dba

Parts for solution = replace noisy fans with quiet ones

• assembly with 4 sets of 2 5cfm fans back to back – Dell PowerEdge 1850 Cooling Fan PN# Y2205 Set of 4 fans   Datasheet for fans used in the assembly    28dba for a single fan on low, on high is 60dba …bad!!   Saw a comment in the silent server article about how is trying to replace this!

Thraex Installer

• Thraex DLL Registration via > Advanced page and select the "Register ActiveX control / Type Library" option
• Brute force registration using RegSvr32.exe Execute and wait
• The installer only calls DllRegisterServer function from the DLLs and shows an error if this function returns an error so there isn't much the installer could do differently. You could however probably suppress the errors by using regsvr32.exe to register the DLL files instead of using the built-in functionality of the installer. You should be able to register your files with regsvr32.exe simply by including that in your installation and then adding couple of Execute Program actions through Interactive and Shell page that call <InstallDir>\regsvr32.exe and set Command Line to "<InstallDir>\dao350.dll" (<InstallDir> should obviously be replaced with something else if these files won't be put under the base installation directory).

Harder to find beans:

• purcellmountainfarms.com/index.htm   Bought some Corona beans from them but the quality was not anywhere near the republic of beans Fagioli Corona
• Republic of Beans – Imported Italian beans
• Vince's Gourmet –  has corona beans from Italy – photo does not look as good

Investigation of Italian direct

• Fagioli Corona   can not figure out how to buy or if the site even sells them but they look good!
