Not the kind of puzzle I enjoy

the man with no name	that looks insane! good luck with sorting that out. maybe try attaching some coloured tape or some labels to help identify things if it happens again in the future. # Posted - 23/12/2004 02:08:00
blah	Looking at the equipment in server rooms fascinates me. I would really like to be able to work on that stuff. It does look like you have a mess on your hands. What books or sites could you recommend how to physically set up server rooms? # Posted - 02/01/2005 18:56:00

I'm with you Paddy - when I started working here I was always very interested in the Server Room - and how everything was fit together. But then I realised that our room was completely crap - a victim of Ad-Hoc designing! So in terms of the right way to set one up - I haven't learned that yet! Personally - I think the best way to pick that kind of stuff up is from a grumpy Admin that's been doing it for 20 years. I had someone from another project helping with the work I had to do with the UPS - and he came up with many suggestions about how to do it right. Unfortunately we didn't have the right equipment - but at least we talked about it # Posted - 03/01/2005 02:32:00
