Alright friends.
I turn to you all as a last resort before I try selling the damn thing.

I bought a server rack. Used, without the front door hinge, but all else is in working order.
It is an "industrial size", and I cannot fit it through my front door.
It has 'rackable' brand units, all 10+ of them, and 2 Catalyst 4000s. I also have an apple server, but it's so large it doesn't even fit with the others.
I have removed all hardware; it is just a empty rack now.


My questions, from top priority down.

How can I get this into my apartment?

How can I supply it with power?
How can I keep it at a relatively cool temp, in a normal household threshold?

I'm perfectly able to sustain it's maintain costs I believe, but unfortunately I'm so inexperienced I don't even know what to google.

Thank you. I will be posting pictures of everything, and anything upon request.

Here is a picture of the internals of a rackable, while I get the others ready.

Disregard the fact I have no space in my room, I will be putting the complete rack into the living room, so I do have space.

You know these catalyst stacks are loud as fuck, run hot, and can potentially draw more power than your outlets can supply without at the very least changing out your breaker switches, and I hope UPS's are in place. I have one of these at work for our stack which services around 6000 users on a 10Gbit line on a redundant UPS backup supplied by 2 240V 30A lines. Nigger what are you doing

I cant begin to understand why you'd have 2 4000's instead of just 1 6000.

Step1: Call a contracting company to tear down and rebuild your front door
Step2: Call an electrician to add the proper sockets, replace the breakers and remove half of the lines in your unit.
Step3: Learn cisco cli for catalyst stacks
Step4: Get a new isp that will probably have to break some city ordinance to put a 5g line into a single residential unit.
Congrats your samba server works the same as if you ran it off a windows computer and router.

So it says for power requirements, 400W per PSU. Does each of those things have one PSU, or several? Anyways that doesn't sound bad.

Are all of these things switches? Or did you get some servers too? Not sure what you would use only switches for, but it still sounds kinda awesome.

What he said. Would be stupid beyond belief to even power this Catalyst shit up, much less leave it running in a residence. Nothing that stack can do for you in 2016 that quiet, cooler switches can't do. The last 6000 stack I dumped I could not even get hauled away on a scrap metal/weight basis. Plenty of these at the bottom of SF Bay these days, trust me.

So 2 PSUs per switch, 2 switches, about 600W per PSU? You could run each on a single circuit in your house, find out how many circuits you have and which outlet is part of which circuit. Then another circuit for the servers, should be fine. Find out how much amps each circuit supports just in case though.

>>56940604
He could make some sound dampening air inlets and outlets for the server rack, also free heating in winter.

Learning how to operate is part of the fun, and he could host stuff like a big minecraft server, getting all the kiddies to pay for stupid shit and make money with the server. Or even host something useful, who cares, the possibilities are endless.

Go to speedtest dot net and take a screenshot of your upload speed, not being hateful, just legit curious. If it's high enough I could give you some ideas on what to use with it.

>>56940642
>That other anon said about bandwidth and ISP. Is this actually a concern?

Depends on how much you want. Obviously such a server with a 16k dsl async internet connection would be a huge waste, search around for who offers internet to your house and what the highest available speed is. If are lucky and have google fiber then you HAVE to set up this server, not doing so would be a waste.

>>
Everyone but me is talking about non-rack-relevant shit.

If OP is autistic enough to want it, he's autistic enough to mark, photograph, disassemble then reassemble the rack.

Somewhere a manual exists for the rack, which could be helpful. RTFM applies to equipment.

Pics of the equipment for the rack are little use. Time to consider how the rack is constructed, or just scrap it since the play value is gone and OP is already discouraged.
>>
>>56940871
So you should put it under the roof, run enough electric cables (probably heavy duty ones), get the fastest internet you can and leave it under the roof until the shed is done and then put everything in there.
>>
>>56940886
The door for the rack was removed, and I don't have it. It had the brand, and all other info related I assume. I'll search again for info on it, might be printed on the bottom. Who knows, I don't. I'll RTFM if I can.
I'm not discouraged anymore, but damn did it seem like it.

>>
>>56940971
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSllkFWVhJI

Also you wouldn't care as much because now it's in a shed instead of your house, maybe glue some foam to the walls from the inside of the shed, should be enough.

How to construct it depends on what your garden looks like and where you can run cables from your house into your garden.
>>
>>56941007
I have one of those fans, I think.
I'd only care as noise complaints from neighbors.

About the circuits, if I only have 1 circuit to my whole apartment I'm fucked, aren't I?

Need any more photos of anything?
>>
>>56941085
Yes, 1 circuit for the whole house means it gets complicated, unless that circuit has a fuckton of amps, which I don't think.

http://www.familyhandyman.com/electrical/breaker-box/breaker-box-safety-how-to-connect-a-new-circuit/view-all

Probably need to do this, or pay someone to do it, which is expensive. Since you are running your cable to the outside, you don't need to rip up too many walls for this.

You can get 20-foot ISO shipping containers and have your own containered datacenter. 20s are small enough to move on a commercial rollback trailer. Containers are used for portable datacenters because they are waterproof, tough and very, very easy to work with. About 2000 bucks will get you one in most of the US.

Smaller units are available too.

Ignoring all of the reasons you wouldn't want a server rack in your living room while you're trying to Netflix and chill, is your floor reinforced?
That's a lot of weight in not a lot of footprint, those things are usually placed on industrial flooring for a good reason.
Please post a picture of the lift shaft it creates for you.

At first i was jelly, but after seeing the wire diameter I want nothing to do with this.

Take the rack in sideways or some shit. You have failed to provide the dimensions of the rack + the dimensions of all of your doors.

If you life on the east coast and close to me Ill cut it in half for you and weld it back together in your house for a reasonable price + gas. (not responsible for house fires)

wow gookmoot got rid of number captchas now, its all streetsigns.
>>
OP the only way to get the rack inside is going to be piece by piece. Awesome buy though, I've been wanting to get a server setup like that for years, but never bother to put aside time and money to get into it. I think it would be fun to host your own fileshare server or a gaymen server.
>>
>>56944113
I'm no longer at home, but when I get back I will measure. It seemed irrelevant to commit to moving it at the time. so I didn't before.

>>56944124
I'm glad you like it. I'll be experimenting once it's all set and learning as I go.
Hell if the offers still available and I've improved my upload I'll look into hosting 4c. A lot of work to get to that point, though.

>>
>>56944598
Yes, I'm op. Can't prove it since I'm not home, I will when I get back.

I wouldn't take you up on that offer anyway, appreciate it though. Completely ruins the point if someone else does it for me.
>>
>>56944631
>ruines the point
How so?
I was just going to verify that you dont give a fuck and want it inside, then I was going to cut it in pieces, move it inside, and weld it back together. Maybe grind it down and spray paint it or something to make it look pretty.
I thought the point was to have a server in the house, at the end of the day you would have had the server in the house, bought it, brought it home, moved most of it inside, and refilled the racks.
>>
So far I have

0.5 - Create temp wall out of plywood to create a boxed in environment while I get enough money to continue. I currently have a U patio with the rack up against the inside.

Buy additional networking equipment.

1. Install 2? circuits for household.
1.2 Improve dataplan for upload.
1.3 Setup twitch. Start.
2. Label and disassemble.
3. Reassemble indoors.
4. Install gentoo.

Anything else feel free to add, hardware reccs and all.

>>56944750
You have a point, I respect that. My completely ruined the point threw off my original intention. I meant it as I don't want you to do it. I appreciate the offer, but if I can learn how to do something from this, I want too. Even if I fucked up, I wouldn't "lose" anything. Plus, I don't think you're an amateur, else you wouldn't have offered. You'd want to be paid. The most I could give is beer after all this, and that's a pretty shitty repayment for your effort. If the conditions were right, I would have you do it, but likely I'd want to pay to rent your tools for a day.

Anon, you dont pay other anons for quality work.
If you were interested, I would have disclosed that I really only have a fraction of a clue what Im doing.
Ive laid down some shitty welds that hold up to the hammer test. Simply put, it just werks. I wouldn't have charged top dollar, but I wouldn't have driven two hours for a beer. If we were bros Id have done it for free simply for the welding experience.

I fear I gave the impression Im some sort of professional. My offer was simply a "you want this shit in the house? ok lets make it happen" sort of thing.
You want to do it all yourself, I respect that also, Im the same way. Id rather know how to do something.

idk, I was just going to take an angle grinder to it to gut it in half, the weld it together with a mig welder, cheapest one you're going to find is harbor freight shit for $100, measure it before and after the weld to keep the spacing the same, then grind the weld down and give the the bare metal a quick blast of some spray paint to keep the rust at bay/make it look pretty.

with the grinder, use a cuting disk for cutting and a grinding disk for grinding. do not ever grind with a cutting disk unless you are ready to loose your face, limbs, or even your life.
Just google "angle grinder injuries" to see what can go wrong.
Also dont look at the welding without a mask, it gives off full uva uvb uvc and ir, it will burn your retina out. I welded for a total of 3 minutes last summer and I got a sunburn that lasted days and a tan from it.

There has to be a better way the buying an individual power supply per.

I need a way to test the equipment before I go all out on getting the rack inside.

Oh. I somehow didn't see the last part of your question.
In short, I don't know. Learn as I go, host everything for my friends and just experiment with shit. Even if I just make a bunch of bots, I'll still have succeeded.

Alright. Something else to consider.
Let's imagine I didn't have any PSUs.

+5VDC 25A, 125W
+3.3VDC 10A, 33W

There just is no way you could keep that entire thing running and cold, without a house fire hazard.

I mean, you would only ever need a single unit for any kind of household application. What in the ever loving fuck are you going to do with the other 9?

Honestly I'd sell it, or sell some of the extra units at least, then use the money to buy an actual cooling unit designed for such a task, as well as PSU's for the damn thing (even if you did have old ones, it needs new ones god knows how old the original ones are, maybe you could upgrade them to something that draws less power so you can actually power the damn thing without paying a grand a month to power it.)

I've got a 47u rack in my room at home. Given, the heat xeons is astounding at the least, I had hell getting it into the house let alone my room. It did NOT want to make the turn in the hall, actually got it stuck in my hallway for about 45 minutes before I broke down, left and bought a saws all (spelling? Idk).

Either way, I cut the outside supports directly in half separating it into top and bottom pieces. Got it inside by angling it, then used the interior rack to hold the outer pieces together. Then drilled some holes and bolted the outer frame back together once in my room.

YW OP
