As previously described, I had replaced the fans in my UniFi US-16-XG, but until today I had not put in any low noise adapters (LNA).

That changed today, I added two LNA NA-RC10 (8.3 m³/h, 12.2 dbA) because the switch is still the most noisy piece of equipment in my homelab.

My new 16 port 10G switch was too loud for my taste. So I fit Noctua NF-A4x20 FLX fans instead.

After the modification, the switch looks the same on the outside.

I bough a UniFi Switch 16 XG, Board Revision 13 (UniFi Software reports 13, while in the pic below I see 11, odd).

These are my notes on initial bringup.

As per Ubiquiti’s support article EdgeRouter - Add Debian Packages to EdgeOS, I enabled some apt sources on my EdgeRouter 6P.

I had a bit of trouble adding an ssh key to my Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 6P. I kept getting

Not a valid key file format (see man sshd) at /opt/vyatta/sbin/vyatta-load-user-key.pl line 96, <$in> line 1.

Turned out that the key needs to:

• have a comment
• not have any spaces in the comment
• be on a line of it’s own in the imported file (e.g. do not add a newline at the end)

for loadkey to accept it.
