The rack is in place . . .

It took some strength to get the cabinet up the stairs and in its final spot, but in the end it was all worth it. I used some L-Profiles to support the servers, as this is much cheaper than rails (rails around 70 euro’s, 2 L-Profiles around 12 euro’s). The cabling is still a bit messy, but I will have this sorted at some point in time.

The cabinet as it is shown in the picture uses around 100W, and the temperatures of the servers stay below 30 degrees (with the door closed). I have some stuff running on the servers , but that is covered in later posts.

The power is organized with two (one on each side) power strips. Be aware of the space you have in the back . . .
