NOkIA ip330 works great

The IP330s are a glorified older pc
All nokia 1u equipment is such.
In fact all nokia firewalls are glorified PCs. The 400 and above are almost standard PCs (ie, standard motherboards and everything)
The 100-300 ones are PCs or x86 compatibles in custom boards, and lack VGA/keyboards. Anything below a 100 is not a PC or x86.

I changed from a Pentium CPU to a AMD K6 at 450 MHz. Now I have to find out how to up the clock speed/multipliers and I'm happy. Mind you - I've lost the F00F bug and gained some MTRR registers, so it was a good thing to do.
CPU: AMD-K6
3D processor (167.05-MHz 586-class CPU)
Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x58c Stepping = 12
Features=0x8021bf <fpu,vme,de,pse,tsc,msr,mce,cx8,pge,mmx>AMD Features=0x80000800 <syscall,3dnow>real memory = 268435456 (256 MB)
avail memory = 253104128 (241 MB)

Anyone know how to reduce the noise from this IP330 box? it is really noisy..I put this in my bedroom..the sound out from IP330 is louder then my dekstop PC.
BTW I have two of IP330 running smoothwall and pfsense,,,and two of them worked great.
So any idea to solve the problem of the sound/noisy? If I turn off the 4 fans…it'll make IP330 box turning bad?

This box is meant to be stored in a rack with a lot of other equipement that produces heat. In your case being installed in your bedroom with no additional sources of heat you should be able to reduce the noise by some modifications. I did the following with a standard PC to make it noiseless: Reduce the FAN of the PSU from 12V to 5 V (just attached it to the 5V of an unused drive powersupply). The CPU cooler was replaced with the biggest socket a cooling block that I was able to find and I removed the CPU FAN from it. As this machine runs without HDD this isn't an additional source of heat/noise either. This system now is noiseless. You even don't hear the PSU fan anymore but can feel the flow of air behind it. That system is running about 2 years already with these modifications.
You might want to try something similiar but don't make me responsible if your hardware gets toasted. If you do these kind of modifications monitor your hardware the first hours after you modded it and do some stresstests.

Ok I think I'll do like you just did….could you please tell me which one is CPU cooler and CPU FAN? there is 1 bigger socket ( I am guessin this is CPU Cooler) and 1 medium cooler size ( dunno what is this) and 2 same size is small socket cooler..
Which one your one need to be replaced to biggest socket cooler..and which one CPU fan need to be removed?
Sorry about my question..first time I opened hardware firewall
Thanks

I didn't mod a nokia but a standard PC. I don't have a nokia, so I can't say anything about that box.

You can swap out the fans. Mine was noisy and I bought 4 40mm (if I remember corretly) fans from newegg.com. Its alot quieter now, can still hear the fans, probably could get away with running 2 of them, but its in a rack in the storage room so I don't really care.
The new fans are all 3 pin, and the ones in the ip330 are 2 pin fans. What you do is look at the color of the wires on the exisiting fans and orientate the new fan connector to match. The one hole just hangs over the edge.

hi,
for those of you who are interested, the type of null modem cable required to see the BIOS is shown on
http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/info/RS-232_null_modem.html
about half way down "Null modem with partial handshaking"
i had to make my own as i tried about 8 cables from colleagues and friends to no avail.
very satisfying when it worked, i can now boot from a cd on a dual connector ide and should be able to install direct. (if the installer outputs to the serial console correctly!)

Nice to know. Didn't know there was soo many different kinds. I just bought one off ebay for a few bucks and it works great. Can get into the BIOS too.
