    MacJK,

     

    Thank you for your reply.  

     

    What should be the idle speed of the FAN? My FAN is a constant on 5000rpm. The Switch is in idle only one port is connected and no traffic just on PC for remote control.

    I inquired this to the higher tier of NETGEAR Support and got a feedback.  According to them, that is the normal operation.

    ​​​

    The Fan is very loud and i want to understand if i can reduce the speed.

    ​​About the loud fan noise, as per the higher tier of NETGEAR Support, the fan speed responds automatically as required based on changes in temperature.  If the fans are spinning at a high rate, it would be best for the GS728TPPv2 to get cooler air flowing through it in order to reduce the fan speed. 

     

    Also, there is no option to manually reduce the fans speed of the GS728TPPv2.  You may post this as feature request in the Idea Exchange for Business board here
