3par 8400

I am running a 3par 8400 with 13 cages at home as part of a home lab. It all works great. Wondering if anyone had any tips on how I can reduce some of the power usage (ie lower the wattage) of this unit. I dont mind about reducing performance/speed given this is a home lab. I checked the settings and dont seem to find anything that would help lower power?

I think the easy answer is reduce the number of cages (and drives) :)

The drives will always spin, so idle power consumption of the drives in 13 cages will be substantial anyway you look at it.
