lol
We have this rack for our small business which will be housing around 12 servers all of them 1U. Each server has 3 to 5 wired going into it.
Basically
1 for Ethernet. sometimes 2.
1 For power
1 for KVM
I tried setting it up and the results were horrendous. There are wires all over the place and it?s impossible to tell what goes where.
Then I saw some professionally wired racks like the one shown below
Good Wiring
And I was like wow. Now that?s a good job.
So I have two options now.
1 Find some dude who can do this. Obviously very expensive and something I would like to avoid.
2 redo the whole rack with a proper plan. for this I will need
a. An article which describes step by step how to do this
b. What hardware is needed such as fasteners cable holders etc
c. any other tips and suggestions.
A year or so down the line these servers will be used for a production install and it is very important that it be done right.
What do you guys suggest?
