Now that I have something that is network-connected<\/a> and which I could use finally, it is time to make sure it has continuous electricity to keep things stable.<\/p>\n

I picked another deal and managed to get an APC Smart-UPS SC450<\/a>, with almost new batteries (just 6 months old).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Say “hello” to the new member of the club:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"
Let\u2019s connect the batteries, which were disconnected for security<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Since I didn’t manage to connect the cables from the front panel, I open it all<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
and did a quick open-heart test \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Let\u2019s put the UPS in his place\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
But now the drama begins\u2026 It touches the back of the rack!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
I don\u2019t want to disassemble everything again!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
I need to move the vertical axis a little bit towards the front<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
OK, structure is now ready\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
A little bit of slots rearrangement, but only temporarily…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Still too damn close, I can\u2019t plug the cords.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
This is where I regretted a wall-mounted rack, I had to remove all the screws from the back panel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
This will never allow me to close the back lid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
There you go, this is no good.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Also, the bracket is too short and the surface to support the weight is very minimal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Even flipping it vertically wouldn\u2019t change much. And anyway, vertically in a rack?! I mean… eww<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
1 hour of sweating after\u2026 not even when working out\u2026 Let\u2019s call it a day\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So I was disappointed and couldn’t continue anymore, so I just order a bunch of adapters from Amazon with Prime delivery the day after.<\/p>\n

Time to rest now, I resumed the day after, stay tuned for the second part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
