Job Upgrade!

[Wojtek]

So I got a job upgrade

From call center agent -> supervisor -> and now IT Support / Network & Server Admin

I get to play on about two dozen servers
Most of them are asterisk servers and the rest are used to store recordings.

Here are two phone camera pictures that show our temporary hvac system + sea of cables

with the looks of those cables, I would not want this job haha

But congrats!

WHOOP *accidentally trips on cables and downs the whole network*

'grats on the upgrade

 

[Tracker]

Top quality HVAC there and some damn good cable management!

 

[Dan]

some damn good cable management!

HAHAHA That's what I was about to say.
Have you guys heard of Cable Ties?

Grats on the Promo.

 

[Darknight]

I accidentally the whole network and now its not responding.

and yea, very good cable management indeed.

My favourite bits are the $14 fans pointing at the racks.



Enjoy the job. (not too much utub ok?)

 

[Dynash]

I'm surprised they're in cases considering the mess
Enjoy yourself xD

LOL, The whole thing!?

You might get better results putting vented tiles in front of your cabinets and seal up the open slots. Use the fans to blow the heat out from behind your systems. This will bring down temperatures and get your promoted to Director of Information Technology.

Good luck. I've seen worse.

Best,

Justin

I see the problem, the outlet is broken.

 

[Reaper28]

i'd hate to try and sort out them cables. holy crap.

$14 fans to cool servers is hilarious. Good luck

 

[iBrightDev]

dude, i love the server cooling system. that is to funny.

 

[[JSH]John]

Holy sh*t! Congrats on the promotion but please sort out some decent cooling and those cables! lol

 

[mess451]

haha...that's too funny

 

[Wojtek]

Have no worries guys, the fans are gone
Hvac people came in to fix it.

However I'm afraid the cables will stay that way. It would take a whole day to disconnect everything and properly reconnect.
At least the person who originall did the wiring was sane enough to stick those lil label stickers on both ends of the cable

 

[SiberForum]

Any other one who can take care?

 

[iBrightDev]

you should just slowly disconnect a few cables a day, un-tangle, and reconnect, and then in the next month or so, it will be all neat and fixed up. promotion for Wojtek.

 

[utcrazy]

I've become way too obsessed with cable management and knowing where everything goes that I could not stand that mess for a minute.

It's a disease. Thank the audio industry.

I agree, start slow and eventually the mess will clear out. Good luck with that mess :wave:
