Here is the latest revision to my home server rack. All the pictures of your server rack motivated me to clean up the organization of my own rack.
The Server rack is Raising Electronics Server Rack Open Frame Rack 4 Post 19 inch Adjustable Server/Audio Rack Cold Rolled Steel(27U,31 Depth) . The server rack has 4 casters that lock in place.
Here are some of the changes in the rack:
- Move a NavePoint rack shelf up 1U for a Supermicro Micro Tower and a UPS
- Move a 24-port keystone patch panel to row 2 as the ethernet cables will not be as taut.
- Replaced and move a 24-port keystone patch panel with a 48-port for Row 4 & 5.
- Moved various individual keystone to new positions
** All HDMI ports to Row 2
** There are 3 additional USB ports at Row 4
** There are many open CAT 6A ports at Row 2 and 4 for future IOT devices. - Moved the unmanaged switch and the Netgate appliance to row 6 and 7 (respectfully)
- Row 8 is the Dell R420
- Row 9 & 10 is Supermicro X9DRW-7/iTPF
- Row 11 is Supermicro X9DRi-LN4+/X9DR3-LN4+
- Row 12 - 15 is the HL-15
- Row 16 - 19 is a 4U NavePoint Deep Draw
- Row 20 thru 23 is an additional NavePoint Deep Drawer
- The bottom has a NavePoint rack shelf for two small UPS.
You can see all the cable runs at the top are fed into the rack’s keystone patch panels.
The NavePoint drawers have various spare parts, server accessories, cables, as well as unused raspberry Pi (and Pi accessories).
The back of the rack needs to have all the loose power cables organized. I am planning to have a Rack UPS to replace the existing two UPS.
