Today I’ll be covering the first phase of my new pet project: a server rack<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So let’s start with ordering a new rack. Even though most of what I’ll put inside will be second-hand material to save some money, for the rack itself I chose it to be brand new.<\/p>\n

I ordered this:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

but then got this ?:<\/p>\n

\"\"
It is massive, I’m fuc**d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Let’s do some unboxing…<\/p>\n

\"\"
side panels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
base and top cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
back panel and front glass door<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And of course, since I’m a newbie I mounted it back to front. The door won’t even close. So, let’s disassemble the top and the bottom and rotate them… Let’s find out how many times I need to disassemble it before getting it right…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What are those nuts?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And more importantly in which direction do I mount them?! Let’s try this way:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apparently, I’ve been lucky, after mounting them I discovered this nice thread on StackOverflow<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let’s keep going mounting this L-shaped bracket to keep those 2 rails together:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So this is, I believe, how it should come out:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Proudly just laid my 2 Raspberry Pi in their new home:<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Tada ?! Assembled! It “just” took me a couple of hours\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It feels great now, even though it is pretty much empty and unplugged.
\nThe next post will be about how to move that 26kg empty server rack around the house…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
