 Awesome. So me and Corey are here to put a rack together. Well, he's gonna put a rack together. I'm gonna watch. Well, I'm on a time lapse. So I'm actually not even gonna watch from the other room and work on the other projects I have to work on. Well, Corey assembles the rack, and then we gotta go deliver it to the client. But we try, these are a little bit different than racks we got in the past. So I figured, hey, while we're assembling them, we're gonna review them. And this is kind of cool. You'll see when it's done. Well, in the thumbnail, I have completed pictures. That's probably what got you to click here. Then I'm gonna do a time lapse and kind of show you once it's done what the rack looks like. But this starts with the assembly process, which is kind of like Ikea here. I kind of like this, though. It's got numbers on it and things like that. So we can, yeah, so you can understand when you set these up at each brace, and we'll cover that in the end, when you're doing the braces here and the bottom pieces, that you set each thing to the same length. This is actually an adjustable rack. I'm already making a mess and knocking things over. What you gotta do, man? Important tools in starting the rack, though. You put all the stuff in one pile. You got that, and you gotta have a rock star energy drink or any type of energy drink, probably. So energy drink of your choice. It's not just the tools. It's the caffeine that it requires to put this together. Yeah, we have a client that's got everything sitting on the table. We wanted it to look a little bit nicer, so we found a compromise on it. We're going to redo everything in our network. We're going to at least redo part of it and get the servers that are rack-mountable servers that don't happen to be on a rack right now. They're just sitting on a table. So we're going to be moving all the servers into this. Yeah, that's the final destination for all this. We'll show you our time-lapse assembly process and we're going to kind of give you an overview of the rack and we'll have a link below as to where you can get it. Alright, me and Corey have the rack assembled. Well, Corey did the work. I'm just here to test it. Solid, dude. This is... Yeah, this StarTech rack is not bad. Not bad here. So this is the height. This has got some servers. This is going to go in it. Matter of fact, there's a server off to the side here. I'll show you in a second. Once we start putting the other pieces in, we're doing them. But as far as assembly goes, this isn't bad. Now, there's some cable management pieces. Isn't there too? Yeah. They've got cable streamers right here that you mount to the side along these. You mount these on the side here. How do those go? There's a screw for each one. Oh, I see. Yep, there's a screw for them. To keep the cables neat. So let me put it on the side you guys can see. So it's got these. We can run the cables through. And we'll get a picture of it finally assembled and put in. But this is the rack in its raw state. Now, it weighs, what, about 75 pounds? I think that's what it weighs. So it's not too heavy to pick up. It's got wheels on it. It's got the adjusters at the bottom, the stoppers. You can wheel it in the position and spin them down so it doesn't wander around the building. In terms of this, I'm going to maybe have a fail here, but let's test something real quick. Will it hold Tom? I weigh 180 pounds. It'll hold you. Yeah. It's like a jungle gym. So we're going to, these are the parts here. So here's my 180 pounds. Pretty sturdy. This thing is sturdy. So in case you're wondering, is it flimsy? I didn't know a better way to demonstrate it other than putting me in it. It works. So the servers don't weigh quite as much as me. So if it holds Tom, it should hold this. And this is something that I was always a little weary about. Because when you're doing the barge right here, the barge right here, and you know, some numbers in a way they assemble, they give you four bolts and they assemble nice and tight, but I was like, well, how solid is that? And being able just to go inside of it and stand in it or hang from it. There's no flex, but I could probably roll it off with me in it. That would be entertaining. You don't do that. I was just saying. I'm looking it up on fail army. So yeah, give me a view from the front. Spin it around. You got your standard, you know, rack width and you get some rack nuts. You got to put an air to the clip in ones. We have a bunch of those we're going to be putting in. It'll spin down here so you can lock it in. But no, pretty, this isn't solid. This is, I like this. We've installed a couple of these before. I never had the time to review them. Because sometimes we go in and assemble them right on site with the client. We actually have a few of these and I was like, okay, I got trying to put one together, because the next thing we're actually going to be putting is this in here. So I got a picture of when it's finally done, but this is as it's assembled for, there'll be a link below for this. And we're going to have a few more parts I put in here and I'll have links for those as well. All right, so the rack is completely assembled, all put together. And this is what it looks like. Now these are a couple things we had here just to set them in here for show. This is actually completely empty. But it gets you an idea that for this, this is solid. It's nothing really wobbles. Like I said, this is a pretty solid equipment. I really like these and they hold up pretty solid. Now we also threw in the top here. This is just a basic cyber power. You got a group of plugs in the front and another group of plugs in the back. Maybe I'll do a talk about this at some time too. These are nice. You can order these to keep your power looking nice. And it feels important when you have to lift a latch and flip it over so you can't accidentally turn power on or off on it. But we got to get going to this. They're two servers that they have in their mouth. This tray at the bottom is pretty nice. I'll leave one for you to get this tray right here. This is so you can set. They have a small UPS that's going to sit on here. Actually, I think they have two of them, one for each server. They don't have the Rackmon UPS. We'll just set them right here until they get a better one. But this keeps everything nice and tidy off the ground. So this little mess is the before. We moved everything over and this is the end. It's actually almost done here. That computer right here in the middle was just temporary. It's got to be virtualized and some data needs to be copied off of it. But we put their UPS down here that powers up the servers. This is their newer server. This is a spare server. The 2950 has been retired finally. You can believe they were still using that. But oddly, it still worked great. It's just ancient. But the customer is happier than it was. We cleaned up a lot. There's a rack above there. It's one of those things that they've had a couple IT companies before us. So we trimmed it up and made it neat but not quite picture worthy to get excited about. But you can see the work that we've done and anything that's got zip ties on it. And this one wire was dangling. We cleaned up these two wires later. I stamped a picture before we were done because I had to leave and my wiring guy did some other general cleanup query because I had to get onto the next project to get some more stuff because that's always fun. Saturdays are, as I call them, reboot days. Sometimes your client is the only time we can. So hopefully it's just helpful. But this rack is very affordable. We bought it for $300 on Amazon. Like I said, I'll leave a link below where you get it. And it's solid. I mean, you can use it as a jungle gym. It doesn't seem to wobble at all. It looks way better than what you've seen in the first picture. It's kind of a nice compromise because they actually don't have a lot of head room to clean up job just so things are easier to manage when they get there. And yes, we did spin the wheels down to make sure it doesn't get just wheeled around once we got it in place there. Thanks for watching. If you like this video, go ahead and click the thumbs up.
