Hub 4 hot
Hi all, I've had a hub 4 for 3 days can I ask, is it meant to be this hot? My hub 3 was nothing like this. I can't hear a fan. Thanks for any input, Regards, John
The Hub 4 is the only VM Hub with a fan, and as such can get "clogged" with dust, depending on the environment. It may help if the Hub is powered off and the dust blown out with a can of compressed air. This may improve the airflow. However if the fan is not working at all, then the Hub should be replaced.
Clogged with dust after 3days?
VM recycle Hubs as they are all rented by users. It is quite possible there is an accumulation of dust from a previous user. Obviously if it is a brand new unit, then yes, there would be no dust, and could be a faulty fan. As noted before, this is the only Hub with a fan and as such it can get dusty. All the other Hubs are fanless, so do not exhibit this problem.
