RE: (ASCEND) MAX 3048

["David Latter" <dl@origin.net.au>]

Do you know how to make the max 6000 quiet? we are running one in a location
and it is in a cabinet but is so noisy we are considering going for a max
3000 to shut it up?

The neighbours in the next room are complaining about it. It is in a big
room with nothing in there except our cabinet which is 500 mm high (Half
rack really) and has a fan (Rotary Axial AC Fan 12cm 240 volt Sleeve Bearing
include Chrome Finger Guard Input 20 watt Frequency 50Hz Speed 2550 RPM,
85CFM Noise 43dB) to draw air into it.

The max  and a router is the only items in the box. We are looking at
putting in noise reduction foam but is it also ok to stop some of the fans
safely and how many would you consider? The unit is a max 6000 with 32
modems in it?

Any help would be appreciated

If you have 4048s now, I wouldn't bother with the 3048s at all (unless
you're in a colo, paying by the inch, and don't need 6096's).

Yes, the 3048 is a stronger platform than the 4048 and is probably capable
of supporting larger stacks, but when it comes down to it, you'll be better
off with the 6000 chassis (fewer boxes to maintain).

If you seriously want to upgrade away from the 4048, try the 6048.  You can
move your modems from the 4048, and end up with a 6096 and a spare chassis
that can do T1 and/or ISDN calls.

About the only thing I can think of using a 3048 for, is if you only have 1U
left on your rack, or need a smaller solution for a small POP.
