Sweet setup, what's the reason for the extreme attention to backup power? is the grid really that unreliable where you are?
I've had one unplanned power outage in the last 10 years so it seems like a crazy amount of backup to me.
That is definitely overkill, so you must be an enthusiast.
That's OK. I have a old Dell Poweredge that I use for simply torrenting and backing up everything I ever torrented.
This amazing I great write-up/slash guide that people can follow.
Thanks! No idea why you were downvoted
Like the idea of multi-room UPS. Question, once the UPS battery run out during a power outage, is there any other type of power generation (Solar, Propane or gasoline) as a backup (aware of the servers will consume more watts than it can generate)?
Ops got a diesel backup generator, says it takes 10 min to kick in if there's a power outage.
I love that Verizon mounting solution! Velcro is the civilized man's duct tape!
I do wish I had some white velcro though!
That’s awesome!
Thanks!
Loved the UPS article itself. If you wanted to level it up one more time, you could do something like this: https://hackaday.com/2023/07/31/automatic-transfer-switch-keeps-internet-online/
It is a automatic transfer switch, so that in the case of a UPS failure, the power can be transferred to a wall outlet fast enough that you shouldn't experience an outage.
Yeah that's on my to do list, I'm looking for some ATS PDU's for cheap, like the CyberPower PDU20MHVT10AT
