H the million dooll PC it's
alive so much solid metal I can't even
believe this thing oh my
goodness what happened hey where'd it go
we don't get to enjoy it yet you got to build it first you silly goose today's a
very special day we've unboxed everything we built up one of the
servers by the way big shout out super micro for building the rest of it love
you guys and now we are going to take the entire petabyte of SSD storage
project and we are going to assemble and power it on for the first time and let
me tell you it's going to
take some power just like our sponsor is
powerful smart deploy smart deploy allows it professionals to image and
manage unlimited computer models with one Windows image search their library

Linus look at how warm this thing got I know it got destroyed in shipping it
looks like a Tesla oh that's just rude what's rude that's accurate compared to
our server room it's going to be great having actual access to the rack from
all four sides oh see that's not so bad anymore are you not going to take it off
Jake well I'm trying to make it look pretty we're building a thing here this
is a million dooll rack you can't have Tesla panel gaps and wa hold on look at
this rack you see how this has teeth here yeah I think when you loosen these
up you just slide them oh that's awesome the reason you might want to do that is
depending on the depth of the components you're planning to install in your cabinet it might be beneficial to have
them much closer up here or hey maybe you got some super deep components
you're going to install and you want to move them back yeah or the front if you want to pass through cbles through the
side yeah so let's have a look at this puppy this is a power bar and this is a
power bar on meth this baby don't stop it'll do 24 amps at 240 volt AC which is
somewhere in the neighborhood of uh 56,000
wats and we're going to need another then I guess right yeah there's another
one somewhere look at the thickness of this power cable what's our plan in
terms of layout did they send us a recommended plan or are we just going to
y it uh he didn't even send me a photo
uh so I think maybe we go off where the cage nuts are but those don't seem to be
in any sort of particular order cool let's just YOLO it I guess nice I like
it oh you know what we might actually have to consider where we put stuff cuz
we have pretty short cables while Jake's calling tech support like some kind of
noob I'm just going to go for it dang it I can't even get this box open there we
go this is going really well so far
where the heck are the screws I've hacked the main frame I've gotten the
information so the switch is going to go backwards htx on the top one storage
server and then the other five okay sure it should be pretty easy also confirmed these are just
random because the cage nuts and screws that came with the hardware are just in
there so nice I don't I don't know what rack this is but I don't think it's the
one they use to do the testing they just gave us like maybe it was already beat
up maybe they're like this is the one that's been sitting in the warehouse for
like 3 years I'm not going to lie I have
no idea how these work oh my God what
the uh oh God I feel like such a noob
something something like that maybe it's designed like this because it's static
you're not really supposed to slide the switch out there's nothing to service
inside of it for the most part basically all the things you're going to need to
touch like put a replacement fan in is all at the front or the back so
whoa 1,00 Watts
for a network
switch oh God that's got a little too much
sauce I put it in like the the minimum mode so it should stop but I guess it's
still a drill sorry NVIDIA wow we don't really
have that many screws there's only four screws oh God uh I guess if I just put
one in the middle that should be okay since the hgx is going to go at the top
of the rack this is kind of what we need to put in first I've been looking at the
rails and they're not really like rails
it's it's kind of more like a shelf you see there's a bit of an indent back here
that lines up with that guy and I'm pretty sure this just goes in the rack
and then you just slide the 150 lb hgx
on top and that's the only sliding mechanism there's no actual rail it's
kind of scary that just this is holding that entire server up on both sides but
I don't see any other way that it works so hopefully you know that works
this thing is chastic I could probably hang off it hold on I'm going to try oh
my God hold on ready you got that sort of finger strength oh
wow I maintain that being short is an evolutionary Advantage for Tech
Geeks whatever you got to tell yourself buddy I mean can you fit in a server
cabinet uh do I want to fit in a server cabinet think of it kind of like the
cool version of being stuffed into a locker I I can't think of it I've never
had that happen definitely stuff someone in a locker
before it was consensual though
consensual the part that wasn't consensual is that we didn't let him out consensual
stuffing okay go ahead and roll uh roll over on me though okay I'm the star
you're special little guy I'm not even the star This Server is the star this is
a switch but good try put your switch in my face oh I'm I'm going to stuff your
face with my switch uh backwards other way well you're the one who handed it to
me yeah well look at how this guy tries to correct me he's all like idiot oh
jeez you got it you just you got the whole thing that's all you access to
this thing is going to kind of suck it's not that deep uh oh we should have used
rack studs yeah where are they oh okay here pause oh they're so easy that's pretty
awesome uh you doing it the right way yeah uh yours are just like 90° off
kilter but I actually don't think it matters okay suppose we'll find out
later crap what I put mine in slightly
the wrong spot are you kidding oh my
God I mean they're so quick to move oh ow oh my finger ouch that didn't
sound good damn it that hurt I just like jammed my finger into this no I'm good
I'm good I'm not cut so I don't have to fill out that stupid form it's a good
form it's an important form it's a it's work place safety related form he's just
not going to make a claim against his own company yeah cuz that would be
really stupid actually there are situations where it could make sense
like if I suffered a life-threatening injury and I couldn't work anymore you
were like in the hospital yeah I think I could actually claim against our company
and it would make sense oh that is so painless except for
when I got hurt yeah but that wasn't the rack yeah that was really
not these are sick man just the fact that you don't have to hold it in place
while you try to screw whatever it is in yeah so nice we'll have a link to these
in the description where you can check them out where's our next set of rails I
mean are we just going to put the compute in next I I kind of feel like we
should I feel like it's the right thing to do Jake why you taking that out oh
it's too heavy just to make it easier yeah we are not doing this as all one
piece it weighs you car this by yourself freaking much I'm not even sure you got
to be gentle oh God this connector's in the back oh God if you dropped this it
would be game over I know I don't know why I just handed it to you there's no
way NVIDIA would send us another one of these it's crazy though because even
this is spectacularly heavy hopefully
this rack is still Square
yep yeah I'm going to screw this one in for sure yeah imagine we forget we throw
this thing on the forklift to move it around I don't want to I don't want to
think about that it's traumatizing okay I think this
server might be worth more than my life I do have to say I have a giant raging
server right now though I don't I don't know if I want to touch it you want to
touch it here I just don't want here touch it okay I'm uncomfortable
I just want you got to be careful about these PCI connections guide it in guide
it in for me tilt her up there bud
okay God it makes such awful noises I
know Beauty you know if I thought ahead
I might have said maybe we should build her low keep her bottom heavy I mean oh
there's so much copper in it no I think it's okay okay all
right is as long as nobody like tries to tilt it yeah we definitely should have
waited until we had the rails put in down here before we put this thing in uh
we'll be fine go look at those rails though they look awful oh oh really I
mean at least it's clearly labeled back this is the Ser going on this almost
definitely goes here I see it you figured it out does it just clip on it's
actually pretty straightforward and it just Clips right on it's actually kind
of nice all right super mic all right we good we cool and here it
is got kind of do it way oh shoot you
just bend the no the cage nut is
interfering with the slot above look in my defense the holes for the rack studs
are square so they in my defense rack units
are square so they can well they can go in any way okay usually yeah we only had
to take them all off once
we only have to do this five more times I know right it's always fun the first
time and then it's like oh after a while but I'm still gonna have fun I I
committed that to myself you're in yeah I'm in let keep her
straight
okay Beauty and then you can screw that in if you want if we took our rack studs
off one more time we could cable manage
it now and it would actually be sick let's see if it'll fit where are they I
think they're in this crate that You' conveniently put the the Box on top of
ready 1 2 3 can't believe you've done this oh God oh
God y'all plug your computer in with a cable like this you plug your pter in
your pter y'all plug your pter in like this
yeah just that's some abuse ah mint oh
look at that imagine if our server room had cable management like that I know
right okay you got to stop putting screwdrivers on the floor you just you
just put them on the floor when you're done yeah no wonder you worry about
losing screwdrivers all like oh the screwdriver is black I'm going to lose
it look where the other one is he just puts stuff on the floor when he's done
with it what were you raised in a barn look when you got like 17 different
tools you're using and there's no cart to put them I don't have that many
pockets no get away get away I'm using
mine no no I found a screwdriver nature
Nature's screwdriver don't cross swords with me now does it matter which server
goes where no okay cuz it's just networked right let's just grab another
one you want to put it on top of there then
guess okay the race is on you got that
one I got this one what what no what here we go what you're already you're
already starting that's cheating yeah well yours is on a cart look I'm putting
stuff on the floor again I'm such a bad guy way to go well I'm taking the rack
you don't need it wait what is this wait what you get to use the r rack as a work
surface well you you I don't know you picked the Box you got lots of space on
the box I did not pick the Box you pointed me at the Box wait there's a box
of stuff in here I'm going to take do we know what this is for the top spot then
look what screws ah we don't need them see you
later dck wait where which ones are my racks I don't know sounds like a you
rails rather oh yeah I'm so far ahead right now you
guys I don't think you are honestly
this is madness you lose what what do you mean I lose it's not in yet
no crap oh is that heavy it's going to be a
lot of work for the editor to blur yeah sorry just blur the whole boy
blur for a while I've had enough of his face oh yeah oh God you hear those
noises that's failure you know what I call it
oh completion get out of
here a no I'm in boys he cheated there you
go that's so
loose you know what though silly race aside that was really fast to
install I've got an idea to get the last server out here oh that box collapsed oh
God uh you sure about this yeah yeah I'm
good are you just gonna pass it to me look at me I'm Oscar the tech
Crouch get out of here what the is wrong with you kids don't know your ABCs yet
get a job yeah that's what my parents have
been telling
me I mean don't help her anything Jake we're not racing on this one no no no no
not necessary oh we didn't even talk about the servers again oh that's right
we did a video where we showed the servers but the configuration that we
ended up using is actually even faster
than what we showed then we already covered that there's 256 gigs of RAM a
total of 400 gbit per second in network
connectivity and 64 total CPU cores but
what we didn't mention yeah these are actually overclocked I think what they
said is 3.7 GHz on all cores for these
nodes and then I believe the hgx which is the big one with the gpus is 3.6 or
so the folks at kyok yet turn these things up to 11 it's not necessarily
that you would need it to run a config like this it's just that you want it
when you want to go absolute Balls to the walls maximum possible performance
keep these network cards fed keep the storage fed it's just it's it's it's I
don't even know what to say I'm I'm lost for words absolute Madness the really
mind-blowing thing about the price of this is that the kinds of organizations
that buy this kind of equipment they don't buy one yeah they buy a data
Center's worth and that's after they already spend tens of million dollars building said building to put the
servers in for those of you who are new to this project these are Kia's cd6 data
center drives these are 15.3 tab each
and every one of these Bays is full 72
yes 72 and the reason that we have to have six separate servers each with dual
overclocked epics inside is that in order to push the kinds of data rates
that all these drives can do at once you just need a ton of CPU as for this head
unit it's got 128 epic CPU cores as well as eight of
NVIDIA's a100 top tier Data Center gpus
and this guy does what again exactly well when you have this much storage it
becomes a little difficult to create a load that can actually make use of all
of it that's the intention of this thing this is just a load literally a load
generator I mean we're talking like 200 gabes a second yeah we sure are could
you be slightly more casual with the expensive direct attach copper cables
Jake jeez stop I'm making a
pasta 200 gabit per second each it's one
of those things where this Hardware could be dead and I would still be
excited to just play with it what do you what like honestly it's just look at
these connect if that doesn't get your motor running I
don't know what will there are actually circuit boards there's actual logic
built into these modules so whether you're using direct attached copper like
we are or Fiber in which case you have to convert from copper to a a light
based signal there is some translation work that needs to be done in the cable
which is one of the reasons that these are so flipp and expensive
1.6 terabits per
second I actually got chills it's a little cold in here too
I've got really bad news I think they
changed the plugs shut up in the shop it
used to be a threple 30 amp and now it's a 3 20 amp that's bad uh that's really
bad we can at least plug this one in this will plug in behind the laser mhm
so we have half of our power we confirmed it thank you Jacob the
three-phase 220 volt was removed and replaced with two 110 volt 20 amps what
if we just grab a bunch of our filming extension cords and yeah I think there
is I think there is enough shop and drag them over here the only problem
potentially is if this was specked out at 208 volt cuz I mean it's an 800 wat
power supply without and a 1200 with but there's two should be okay 1,600 WS for
two epics and some storage I think it's probably fine okay let's do it
okay this looks great Jamie I think we should be good to go with this okay cool
fantastic the folks at kokia said that each blade Peak 12200 WTS so we need a
circuit for each oh crap yeah I don't we
might have to scr some other extension cords yeah this is not how it was
supposed to go down boys no it was so it was it was set up it was perfect how is
it that no matter how much planning we do we always end up like this cuz
there's just too many cooks in the kitchen it always comes down to the wire
Jake every time every time I literally I had the perfect solution
ordered thanks infinite cables and even that wasn't enough all right she's
live oh
who oh my God we have liftoff ladies and
gentlemen it sounds like an alien spaceship
it's pulling 1,000 watts and it hasn't even done anything yet what 4 amps oh my
God we're going to need hearing protection what if I pull one out you
think it'll get mad oh wow put your hand there for a
second okay hold on a second oh my
God the static pressure it blows it
out what's really mind-blowing is it hasn't done any thing yet now that it's
actually booted it's only drawing one
amp so like 200 WTS I I guarantee you
that most of that power draw was literally just the fans I can take my
earplugs out now it's almost like it's barely
on I must have been full
Chooch mind you it's doing nothing literally nothing yeah pulling 250 Watts
doing absolutely nothing is still
something for cont X that's maybe 10x
what we'd expect from a reasonable gaming
machine 100 is about like a subway train
110 would be industrial noise and we're
squarely in between wait a second is this thing
pulling 2500 watts right now what the
heck is it doing oh that's a relief curiously
neither pressing nor holding the power button turns this computer off but the
only way to do that appears to be to oh no I told you that's not going to work
it's just going to do that again what did it just go to
sleep whatever we're just going to shut it off with the II anyways that's
hilarious wait it was off oh that's off that's off
that Mak sense because it was the light was orange oh it was just the power
supplies oh my God that's hilarious even
when it's off it draws 250 freaking
Watts after starting everything up and turning the hgx back on it was right at
24 amps which is supposed to be its limit I went ahead and the three that we
have running on their own circuits I unplugged their second connection to
this for now and hopefully
that's enough curiously I think two or maybe three of the IP addresses for this
a100 box are not pinging um and then when I looked at the switch down here
you can see that a few of the links weren't up I just moved this cable to a
different port and now it's blinking you can see we have one and two and when it
was plugged into three up here it wasn't doing anything but now it's happy upon
pinging all of them again all eight ports are
connecting that's so much bandwidth
the kokia guys sent over all the information for how to hook it up they
failed to include how to start the array I'm I'm in the WCA panel here and you
can see it just says stopped uh I can click on the servers and see we got 12
drives there look at the drives I'm back
lots of drives all the networking is working I think this such a cool
visualization yeah what is this this is W oh this is the 00 the $400,000 file
system yeah yeah yeah that's how you know you're in the Enterprise when it's
a million dooll project and the software is the most expensive part back up a bit
so it's not so loud sorry sorry sorry I just I like to bask oh stand behind it's
that's the warmth it's actually kind of nice back wow well I mean it's I like it
it's like 20 amp 16 amps yeah that's
like 3,000 Watts yeah more than that but yeah I figured out how to how to boot
the cluster go in the settings configure
start I out you ready you ready okay so
wait is this going to generate a load no no no this is just starting up the file system and it sounds like that when you
start your freaking file system we're up to 18 amps
boys closing in on 5,000 Watts this is such a cool
visualization I love it oh I know it's almost worth 400
Grand okay to be clear it has like other
redeeming qualities one failure four
drives aren't working that's like curiously exactly these two I bet you a
cable is just loose inside got to be internal yeah is this the one we worked
on no it's not oh really oh it might have just gotten rustled in shipping
that's the thing that happens and we didn't open them all up and so maybe we
should just reat them let's just give it a little receip on all the NVMe
connectors I'm glad it's not the server we messed with yeah me too that would
have been really embarrassing and one two three h ho
I don't know if this file system is designed to run on a single node but
imagine if we could get wanck to run on this that'd be pretty cool yeah WKA hey
sup huh we may actually be able to tell right away sometimes it'll just access
all the drives as part of the boot sequence and we can see if they're all flashing oh my God SE hold on a second
we got to we got to I got to talk to the viewers for a second here okay Luke's
safe okay we got all the Floatplane subscribers they get that exclusive
content all that stuff but this man this man Nick light ladies and gentlemen if
you do not register to order a screwdriver in a backpack he's in danger
okay he's going to lose his job are all the drives there yeah there's no more
alerts anymore which is great yes you know what's so crazy these nbme drives
are so fast that with those four drives I got the feeling I got the Feeling
Again I got the chills this is so cool yeah with the few drives down we
actually lost a couple per protection
and it was rebuil building and then when I put the drives back in now
everything's happy again it rebuilt from like 98% to 100% protected in like a
minute fast wow so fast guys
resilvering uh a hard drive configuration of this kind of capacity
is a multi-day operation okay to see
something like that done on the order of
seconds or minutes rather than hours and
days great crazy wow funniest thing
happened I went to mount the file system on the big chungus turns out the clocks
on the servers are out of sync enough that it won't mount so oh wow it's not
connected to the internet we can't just like go you know ping Google time so I'm
setting up the local Windows time server on this Windows 11 machine so that I can
go on each machine and go update ntp from this client are you ready ready
oh my God have you ever seen it like
that are we going to show them yet no no
the truth is we were planning to tease you guys
this whole time and you're going to have to wait till the next part for us to run
it through its Paces what I'm doing that what we'll tell you now is about our
