I loved the time to apreciate all the suff powering up, so satisfying, amazing video!

[ElementX]

This is by far my favorite networking video as of today. I just love this level of attention to detail. You sir just gained a new subscriber.

[goderik]

That networking deserves a sub. Keep it up!

Dude, the magnet to catch shavings was brilliant. I feel like a pleb drilling without one now.

[maxherman]

Would love for you to do a basic guide on that brocade switch! I got a couple myself and would LOVE a simple guide on some basic ways to configure them, love your videos man!

Nice setup... All switches are usually installed facing the hot aisle, so you don't need to run all those cables from the front and save RU. Label all the cables to save time and hair pulling later. All power cables should be tucked on the side so there are as little cables as possible in the back for server air flow.

Thank you buddy! That’s a good video. I’m going to buy the kit.

I was more excited to get a new label maker at work than I was a laptop.

Nice video Jared. Clear and concise. Great way for someone to find the equipment they need and get it up and running.

I have a 42U rack that is full, and I used ball bearing extension rails so I can slide out the 4U server cases, some filled with 18tb hard drives. But I never thought of using zip ties, not even for the 1U switches. I'm always dropping the screws and then have to get down on my hands and knees to try and find them. I use a hard drive magnet at the end of a dowl for that.

I have an older APC Netshelter that I got used. Unfortunately, the back, of it doesn't have much depth beyond the rack posts. There's no room inside the rack to mount a power strip behind the servers, so I screwed a board to the ceiling and floor behind the server and mounted two 6-foot power strips. I have 2 older APC UPSs each on their own 20 amp circuit. My main servers right now are an R720 running Truenas, 2 R730s running Proxmox. and a smaller Supermicro running pfsense.

this home setup is sick...i need to watch more of this channel... 😄

[cinupinu]

One of my server is an R910, and it sounds just like that!

[marcus_b]

Use about 4 bottle caps between each of those switches and that Dell R210 for airflow and to help avoid high thermal build up/sharing. The bottle caps work perfectly.

I have a couple of powerconnect 5524p and both of them are unable to export the config via usb or http/s. Does your 5548p have the same problem?

Talking about being careful with fiber, put the protective cover on the ferrule and clean the ferrule before connecting with an SFP module etc.

[gachu]

Hello, I have a question why you need so many servers that each one does and for what so many tera bits of storage thanks

[movaxh]

Nice indeed. I have 25G/10G on my home network (with few 40G ports), and might be exploring 100G soon. But tham, I only have like 22U rack, plus a cluster, and few switches here and there. Would kill for 2 real full sized racks, but I cannot fit them, nor do I have power for them.

[longlost]

that whirring sound is his external power meter spinning at 6k nice video, but I think I'll keep my home rack to 20U with a combination of S5212 (3X100g, 12X25g) PC8164 (2X40g, 48X10g) and N2024 (1g switch). I use my high speed connections for server 2 server (storage/file) and mid speed for inside the computer room. the basic dell hardware is also my choice as well, I just use less of it with some higher end newer R series components. fun view just the same....
