Jason stumbles on to pure gold: How to quiet the Dell PoweEdge 1750.
Recently we put a refurbished Dell PowerEdge 1750 into our local server room as a development/test server. We noticed immediately this server was approximately 10 times louder than any other server we had. We Googled for a solution and several other people having the same exact problem over the past few years since the 1750 were found, but hardly anyone with any answer resembling good.

I hope this short blog post helps someone else, as we were growing frustrated at the lack of adequate responses at the following URLs.
Fail..
Fail..

It is a simple solution but it works perfect for us! Plug in both power supplies and normal quiet operation will resume!
