Show us your Rack! ;)

A few of us used them in the Chia thread, I think I put a pic in the storage thread. Just QSFP to QSFP chaining the shelves, and QSFP to SAS to HBA card. I've got a few I should list at some stage, one with 3TB drives, two with 4TB drives. IOM3 in mine, which was plenty fine enough. Just ran them JBOD as individual drives. I like the EMC KTN-STL3 also, only 15 drives but quite a shallow unit.

 

I like how quiet the NetApp DS is once it settles post boot & init. I have QSFP to SAS cables for mine, just waiting on some replacement disks - 5 were faulty when arrived.

 

Yeah, to me they were quiet enough. I had 4 of them and the EMC in my home office with me and it was fine to me. Just the one running now.

 

That would be dead easy to make. Just get 2 bits of flat bar and drill some holes in it. Don't really think they need to be connected.

 

sourcing RU filler/blanking plates is dead easy/cheap too.

 

They are invincible. I have the IOM3's and various disks from 12TB to 22TB mix of SAS and SATA.

2 x MikroTik CRS310-8G+2S+IN
Back cover & Cable management later
NAS and UPS in a later spend

 

Not my rack, though when I watched it, I immediately thought of this thread, so sharing for others.

Warning: this guy is total nuts for cables … so watch at your own peril.

 

Does this count as a rack? There is more to it spread around the house of course . https://imgur.com/a/internet-cupboard-0ha1tJU

 

Absolutely

 

Did some cable management today and finally got my NAS racked. Slightly embarrassed that I bought a UPS that doesn't quite fit in the rack, but such is life.

Future plans include a 4-node ProxMox cluster on Minisforum MS-01s with Ceph, a UI Pro Max 24 PoE switch to replace the 10-port PoE that is reaching capacity, and a USW-Aggregation-Pro for aggregation and 10GbE networking for the cluster. Combined with a brush type OCD panel that should fill up the rest of the space.

 

How deep is your cabinet and what case is the NAS in?

 

Got my new mini rack working finally, complete with its 8 port switch.

Rack is 3D printed, enough to accommodate upto three Lenovo Thinkcentre's.

Currelty away from my Rack (Which I have some major updates to do to it.. replace the clipsal Patch panels with Ubiquiti ones and some other work) but for now here is my Unifi Network lay out


Yes I am Missing some Cameras those will be added and I'll update the layout

 

I don't see IPs there but I am guessing that's a pretty flat network.
Looks like you have pretty much everything on wifi.

 

I'm not about to post my IP addresses

my housemates don't have many wired things.. I'm currentlly 3000kms away once i get back there will be more wired devices

 

no need, I've already figured out your PC responds to 127.0.0.1

 

Where do you name your ISP in the settings?

Mine just says ISP in my Unifi Admin and I cant see a way to set it!

Just curious

 

as far as i know it is an automatic thing....

 

Just some blinky, blinky lights (from the front) for the lovers of blinky lights.

Number one;


... and number two. Ever changing, well, when I can be bothered.
She's a sexy beast the SC847, with another 20 sleds in the back.
