How could the HDD fan be turned off? It's plugged onto the motherboard and is easily unplugged, but this causes a message at bootup and about fan failure, along with periodic messages later about cooling device failure. The BIOS doesn't offer any settings to turn off the fan or the messages.
I've just replaced a 3.5" HDD with a 2.5" HDD, which runs cooler and doesn't need the fan, so it would be quieter without the fan. This is in a Small Form Factor Dell Optiplex 755. Thanks for your help.
