I nearly sh*t myself, I thought a jet engine was firing up behind me. 2009/10/16 David Lum <[email protected]> IBM Blade centers are also *VERY* loud at boot-up, then they become simply less really freakin loud.

Those fans scream, then!

Have any of you purchased a DL360 G6? This thing is quiet! I mean so quiet that if you have one running in your cube right next to you, you cannot hear it. Its quieter than a desktop PC.

I' begun to suspect it might release the DVD drive, but I was kind-of nervous about pushing it (a second time) on a live system. -- RMc "Richard Stovall" <[email protected]> wrote on 10/16/2009 07:49:39 AM: > The square button is the eject button used to remove the optical > drive.
