Please log in for more thread options I need a 24-port gigabit switch to work in a quiet office environment. I've read reviews of the most popular switches that suggest that they have very loud fans. Does anyone know of one which is quiet? | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options What is your definition of quiet? Does the switch need to be a managed switch, or would an unmanaged switch suffice? The unmanaged 1400-24G has no fan: http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/switches/ProCurve_Switch_1400_Series/specs.htm (it replaces the 2700 series) The webmanaged 1800-24G also has no fan: http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/switches/ProCurve_Switch_1800_Series/specs.htm The "fully managed" (has a serial port :) 2800's have a fan: http://www.hp.com/rnd/products/switches/2800_series/specs.htm There are other small to large ProCurve switches whos specs you can peruse via http://www.hp.com/go/procurve rick jones naturally, I have a bias :) -- No need to believe in either side, or any side. There is no cause. There's only yourself. The belief is in your own precision. - Jobert these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :) feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... | ||||||||||||||||
