This UPS will help in protecting my data so that in case of a power loss I can do an automatic graceful shutdown instead of having a sudden power loss and risking inconsistency of the RAID array. The rack was a bit more difficult to get by. Racks for computer equipment are typically really expensive and they are usually cabinets with doors that require additional ventilation (= noise and power).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/brakkee.org\/images\/SUA750RMI2U.jpg\" alt=\"APC SMART-UPS SUA 750 RMI 2U\" title=\"APC SMART-UPS SUA 750 RMI 2U\" width=\"250\" height=\"109\" align=\"left\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>The breakpoint was when I realised that musicians also use 19&#39;&#39; rackmount. And.. as we all know musicians typically don&#39;t have a lot of money and indeed, rackmount storage for 19&#39;&#39; rackmount equipment is a lot cheaper. In addition, there are also a lot of open rackmount systems because musicians\/DJs typically want to push all those buttons on their equipment. Finally, I ended up with a 100 EUR 16U 19&#39;&#39; rack. The only main difference with IT rackmount is that it is a bit less deep, but that should not be a problem because the equipment I intend to buy isn&#39;t that deep (e.g. not a Dell 1U rackmount server).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/brakkee.org\/images\/DAP-metal-equipment-rack.jpg\" alt=\"DAP metal equipment rack\" title=\"DAP metal equipment rack\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" align=\"right\" \/> <\/p>\n<p>The rack will house the UPS and through two rackmount shelves will house the existing server and addonics storage tower II. The next step will be an addonics 19&#39;&#39; storage rack so I can house all disks externally (including the VCR disk which is now inside the server). Also, it will provide additional space for a separate backup disk.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have now taken the first step in the transformation of my local network, which is about robustness and 19&#39;&#39; rackmount form factor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brakkee.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brakkee.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brakkee.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brakkee.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brakkee.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brakkee.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brakkee.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brakkee.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brakkee.org\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
