[AusNOG] Off Topic: 42RU rack full of Cisco stuff....

[Ramsay, Paul]

I had a 42RU in the TV room loaded as a lab with a lots of routers and
switches, and after some complaints about the noise from the better half
had to open all the equipment and disconnect the fans! So the lab became
"silent", had to be careful of the heat though so just powered the
equipment up when I needed to. The other 2 racks and equipment in the
garage became too dusty and full of spiders so I donated them to the IT
guy at the school across the road.

 

I guess using dynamips may help sort out all the clutter!

 

Merry Christmas 

Paul

I did the whole convince the better half as well during an extension
we've just finished...

 

Existing 12RU under the existing part of the house where the lead-in's
all terminate, cabling patch panels plus router and PoE switch

 

Then I added the 32RU rack under the extension for the 'cloud' lab with
a set of servers and a couple of switches and another couple of routers,
new 20A outlets etc on separate circuits, UPS...

 

All was going well, then I turned it on and the 'dungeon' warms up a
tad, then the server fans kick into high gear and you can hear them in
the new master bedroom above.... 

 

Whoops!

		I'm glad I'm not the only one Matt. Have a 24RU cabinet
in the linen closet in our new house too.. Suits the 100A 3 Phase
nicely. :-)

		 

		My wife just walked in, looked at it, and turned around
and walked out.
