I just wanted to let you know that the issue with the blue power ring staying on during system suspend has been resolved.  The system
was configured to suspend into "away mode" (S1 suspend) so that it could continue to share files and serve to media extenders.
I changed this to suspend to a true S3 suspend mode, and now the power ring goes orange in suspend as expected.

I mention this in case you have other customers who run into the same thing and have the same question.

Best regards,

I have found something interesting that may be of use to other clients of yours considering S16v and a motherboard with outward facing SATA headers.  The HDD cage actually sits high enough that the lower row of SATA headers will pass right underneath the HDD cage without any issues.  Furthermore, if you use the short standoffs that are provided, you can elevate the cage slightly and have use of both rows of SATA connections on the motherboard, as the HDD cage will be above all of the SATA cables.  Doing so will not even raise the intake fan above the vent - it is still completely seated behind the vent.
 
Additionally, the Noctua NH-C12P CPU cooler WILL NOT work in the S16v, as there is not adequate clearance behind the optical drive.  I will be returning the one I bought and trying the Noctua NHU9B instead.
