Re: silencing the BCS

Any ideas on how to cut the noise level of the BCS? I have the system
in a storefront location with a storage room and the large room which
is the store. The BCS right now is on a heavy duty metal shelf in the
store. If there are only one or two blades in the system, and 4 SAS
drives, can some of the fans be pulled or turned off?

No.

are there low cost enclosures that servers can be placed in to wall
off the noise? What I saw in a web search was too expensive at $3000.

IBM offers an "Office Enablement Kit", which consists of a Small Rack,
i think 12 U or some such. I have one of these, and it makes the unit
a lot less noisy.

You can also enable "Acoustic Control" in the AMM, but i think that
only applies to situation with high power demand, and won't help you.
