Using TL-SG3424P Without Fans?
I am wondering what to do with this TL-SG3424P switch. Fans were running when taken out of service earlier this year and recently found another use for the switch, but now see that the fans are not running. The power jack for each fan does not supply the 12v needed, but only measures around 3v.
We are not planning on using more than 4-5 POE devices with this switch, so I wonder if we can use it as a fanless unit? The switch seems to work in simple testing. GUI is available.
If the switch self-destructs, we would be fine with that, but could this overheat with <6 POE devices and cause problems external to the switch?
Easy answer is to send to recyclers, but would be nice if still somewhat usable. Any opinions?
Thanks
