Show Us Your Racks

Some more pictures from home...

First there's the networking lab, this doesn't see much use these days...

These two run, along with the tape library, look after the house services, AD, DNS etc

One can never have too much UPS...

I installed an APC 7953 PDU into the lab a couple of days ago. 21x C13 and 3x C19 connectors.

Great for remote access! All my kit is in my bedroom atm and they make a hell of a lot of noise, especially the 6509's.

Can now just use my laptop and remotely power everything on and then SSH into my raspberry pi for console access (has 16x console cables plugged into it via a USB hub).

Cool pieces of equipment!

Certainly is but I don't need mine any more. :mad: I have finished with all the remote stuff now. Dumbing down all my kit to make room.

What racks are those? Where did you get them from? I'm looking at moving away from a home-made lack rack and getting something a little easier on the eyes....
 
Nice left overs!

One tip for that APC1500 if it's the older "SUA" model (it looks like it) is that if you use USB to talk to it, it will randomly drop the connection from time to time and the only solution is to unplug it and plug it back in (very annoying when the darn thing is over 100 miles away). The solution is to use a serial connection, which is fine.
