HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8 fan noise demonstration

Skip to 3:30 to hear the fans start ramping down.

[@leogeeko]

Everytime I miss flying because of Covid, I go to the development lab and turn one of these on. It looks exactly like an aircraft still on the ground waiting for the pushback.

[@hariranormal5584]

Sounds beautiful honestly

[@thomasgurchiek3301]

Oh the memories. Thinking about picking one up. The thought of my wife thinking I'm vacuuming my office is quite comical.

[@mamdouh-Tawadros]

Thank you for the video. I think the fan profile can be changed from the BIOS setup. For e5 2620 I would not expect heating problems, but should you use other higher CPU, unless you upgrade fan speed in the BIOS, you will find the CPU running relatively hot. Ambient temperature is pivotal.

[@ko260]

you mean you can set the fan curve in bios to make it better than default ? just got my hands on one recently and it feels loud in my office with two 2650v0s in it

[@Corydon1976]

Thank you so much for this! Found a great deal for a similar server I want to get and this seals the deal!

[@TroetelbeerRS]

What is the power comsumption of these?

[@Trident_Euclid]

Yes

[@naturerleben3252]

Since there are thousands of combinations and the power consumption (power is not consumed, only consumed and converted), etc. related to the efficiency of the power supply units, it is not possible to say exactly how much Power is required or consumed

[@NONSTOP-VIDEOS]

@@naturerleben3252 idiot what about Watts and Killowathours ?

[@sunnylm2045]

Thanks John, it's seems pretty quiet after it boot up. just wondering how much average power consumption did it shown in ILO? i'm looking between Dell R620 vs DL380 G8

[@jj-icejoe6642]

I have a Dell R620 and it's 140w at idle

[@retr0nus]

When my DL380p Gen8 is fully booted and has all my VM's running, it's at about 69-70 watts usually, haven't tested it with a full load, it has a E5-2660 and 32GB ram and is the 12bay model.

[@MightyChest]

thnx John Miller for the video, I was searching for a while for it, to see/hear if they are noisy.

[@NMranchhand]

Wow! Thanks. You had me scared there until it spun down. So glad you showed that.

[@Check_This_Out188]

I am considering buying the DL380 g10 with 2x 6152 CPU. will that be very noisy? I mean.... if I will put it in 2 rooms away from my bedroom. Will I be able to hear it while under load?

[@stuffinfinland]

Thanks for the informative video John :)

[@SophalChao]

If you replace with SSD, it would be more quiet

[@KayJay01]

There's an iLO mod that you can easily do to be able to control fans through SSH. Before the mod I had fans at ~60% on the right side but now I can set them to about 17% and still keep temps under control

[@jozamaymen]

Excuse me, I have the same problem. what did you do via SSH ?

[@ET2carbon]

[@l4af2f]

this is nothing, do a demo on normal useage and warm temps. The fans will scream over time

[@MarkLapasa]

I appreciate the video! So hard to get an idea of what the sound would be like without having to buy one!

[@foxyvr449]

These fans sound beautiful

[@Kedubs]

Just bought 2 of these but the 12-bay models thanks for the video man!

[@DjHighjacker]

Did you buy DL380e 12xLLF or DL380p 12xLFF? Because I bought DL380e 12x LFF and it's not that silent :/

[@bubbabenali]

From what I learned Ilo fan control is set to 35% minimum fanspeed, when it detects a 12slot backplane.

[@NONSTOP-VIDEOS]

@@DjHighjacker servers are not built to be quiet ;) but to be able to run long-time with minnimal downtime and effort. Also reliebility is their main key

[@DjHighjacker]

@@NONSTOP-VIDEOS Yes I know but for private use it's great when it's not that loud as in the datacenter :D The DL380p LFF is more silent compared to DL380e :)

[@ronaldlebeck9577]

I remember that sound from my days of being the head of I.T. at a healthcare facility (20 years ago), only we were running a rack of 1U DL-360s. I was wanting to find a demo of the sound those screaming lil' turbines make for the whiners who think the fan in a micro PC is loud -- they have no idea what loud is. 🙉 Thanks for demo! 👍

[@victorchoi1318]

This video saved my life!! I was considering to buy 2u server for homelap usage, but nah

[@FakeName39]

ive got a DL80 Gen 9, same thing EXCEPT i threw ESXI on even with a VM, and fans are still 80%. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[@masterkitty]

This things awesome! I'm getting one from a local business that's decommissioning them, and just this video makes it seem pretty awesome.

[@cyberjack]

you can turn power management down in bios /advanced options , optimized cooling ....it makes a massive difffrence

[@briansolonge6163]

Looking for a server to host my alternative video sharing platform on. Is this model a good suggestion?

[@Icycoldcoke]

thank you im going to buy one for my new esxi server

[@73SDR]

Thanks for that..... Looking to get a Gen9 and your Gen8 video popped up. Sounds similar to my Gen6, which was a huge improvement over my old Gen5.

[@enotbert]

Do you have original HP drives or custom ones? I've read somewhere that dl380 is much louder with non-original drives because of temp readings.

[@mrderby01]

Thank you @John!!! 2yrs later this video was relevant. I wanted to buy a unit for practicing VM's and what not.

[@annonanno1782]

WOW we can hear disc clicking, voice - i need rethink this model! Thanks

[@CBRadioOperator]

Thanks for posting, recently acquired a DL380p , I liken her to HAL sitting in space waiting to be re-activated.

[@Kadencabs]

Where do I buy that I wanna do something like you are

[@ionutzxpo]

it's really quiet :) im planning to get a 1U unit soon :)

[@sembutininverse]

awesome video, I'm planning on getting hp dl38p g9 for my homelab, and the server rack would be in my room, how kuch noise would it make under moderate load?, I'm scared of the noise level because of all vide8i have seen in KZbin, is ot rhat bad?, your help would be appreciated, it means a lot to me.

[@IpfxTwin]

There are ways to get the fan noise down with ILO settings.

[@SysAdmin-Solutions]

HELLO Sir John Miller. first I want to thank you for your very uplifting videos. I am IT support in a structure. I have a problem. in our company we use a proliant HP L380 Gen9 server. However, for about 2 weeks, the server which is never shut down has behaved strangely. Indeed from time to time the fan of the server turns at high speed becoming noisy and stops a few moments later. this happens permanently at least 10 times a day. please i would like your assistance this situation is too stressful. Thanks in advance.

[@biblicalwaysnews]

Have you tried to upgrade to the latest Firmware And drive if that doesn’t work maybe the fan need to replace or if it’s too dusty

[@mrfrenzy.]

Check in ILO which temperature is high. For me it was the chipset so i applied new thermal paste and an 80mm fan above it. Thatlowers fan speed 10%.

[@callmebigpapa]

Thanks for sharing

[@keinerkeiner4133]

Hello John, how did you do that the server is so quiet? What settings did you make?

[@RandomInsano2]

Wha?! That's not at all my experience. But I'm running Debian Linux 10. I'll give Windows 10 a shot and see if it is actually willing to spin down with different drivers.

[@RandomInsano2]

Can confirm removing cards helps significantly. It’s not as quiet but much better than normal.

[@hariranormal5584]

Try a more modern Linux then Debian. Maybe new kernels will help.

[@RandomInsano2]

Actually, I made two changes: first I set the thermals to be OS controlled, then I updated the firmware. Not sure which helped but it’s likely for former.

[@MindsEyeTHPS]

Was it running Win10 or Server 2016/2019?

[@Kadencabs]

Probably 10

[@dragonwarrior5752]

Server 2016/2019

[@jamessshep6106]

The use of a Dell monitor will increase the fan speed and noise level. You have to use an HP monitor for 90% less noise from fans. The Dell monitor causes the fans to whine. Haha

[@seesoftwr8032]

The monitor is not even connect to the HP DL380 G8. You can clearly see the VGA connector on the HP server is not plug in(on left screen) so not sure what we are seeing on the monitor??? ***On side note my gen7 have a bios dated 2015 and this gen8 still in 2013... time to do a little firmware update!! & to ilo4 too!)***

Will it run UnRaid?

[@StalkingyouNet]

I just purchased a DL380p 12xLFF version, 2xE5-2670 v2's 192GB of memory and it runs unraid just fine. But it's no where near as silent as this model. I am running a couple cards though, Quadro P2000, nvme pcie adapter card and a HBA.

[@nowrath2371]

Yes, it will run Unraid. Since Unraid wants to manage the disks by itself, configure all disks as single Raid 0 and you'll be good to go. Unraid will build the appropriate RAID depending on what drives you activate.
