welcome to the third installment of a little segment we call Holy sh and
today it really is a holy moment isn't
it because this right here my friends this is a
battery the size of a man and this right here is all the other
crap that goes with it oh yeah and did I mention it cost us
$177,000 holy
tunnel bear is the easy to usee VPN service that lets you use the web as
though you are in one of 20 different countries learn more and try tunnel bear
for free at the link in the video description so we'll kick things off
with what the unboxing experience would be like for a
$117,000 my okay that's Canadian Rupees mind you but it's still a lot of money a
$177,000 battery backup this is the pw1
12s 12K dpd from Eon and it is part of
their 9170 plus line of formerly known
as power wear uninterruptible power supplies this baby
right here is a 12 unit chassis and you
can actually fill those units with power modules or battery modules depending on
whether you want to supply more power to the items that you want to back up or
whether you want the run time to be longer when the power goes out so the
one that we have is a 12 kilovolt amp
unit capable of delivering about 10,000
watts of power cuz we have filled it up with I believe it is four of their 3,000
kilovolt amp units and then we have filled the entire rest of this 12 12 Bay
chassis with battery backups allowing us to have this puppy run at full load for
I think something to the tune of 26 or 28 minutes Under full freaking 10,000
watt load or at half load for about an
hour before it actually needs to engage the software mechanisms that it has to
safely shut down all of our server components you might be asking yourself
lus you guys had a bunch of UPS units
what the devil happened with all of those why are you getting an additional
Tower UPS to uh to take their place well
we had some issues with the GE ones uh they were refurb units the batteries
problem something etc etc anyway we're not using them anymore and uh Johnny 2
our networking Guru guy recommended this
so we bit the bullet and went you know what with all the data loss scares we've
had lately and the issues that we've had with power outages in this area we've
had some serious storms we are not going to screw around anymore we're getting a
proper proper backup unit and this my friends
is what something like that might look like yeah I think this is
just just the chassis so it's actually bolted onto
this pallet no it is not it is not bolted onto the pallet so we should be
able to remove it fairly easily but let's take a look at the rear of it
first okay so at the top we've got a seral port as well as a couple of Bays
for Network modules one of which we got so it'll be able to communicate over the
network then we've got 12 and these each have their own 20 amp reset switches in
them so we've got 12 uh l14 30r Outlets
then we move down into the freaking like
heavy freaking duty stuff and we've got three l630r Outlets so those are these
three prong twisty locky ones right here and finally we have three more of the
l14 30r Quad quad prong Outlets going on
here so these puppies are for like super high draw 240 volt equipment that can
leverage the efficiency of the higher voltage in order to well be more
efficient so you you might find this in in like very high-end server gear we
will mostly be using these guys okay so
the first thing Johnny the network guy and I are going to do is uh move you
bastard should we twist it twist it this way yeah we should twist it move okay
awesome so this gives us a look at the front so here's where the uh the 12 like
Bay module things go in so you can actually see the interfaces at the back
here they have what look like like kind of smaller ATX power supply connectors
on them and then they have what looks like about a 24 26 pin um likely
proprietary connector back here and then a couple more little guys right here so
the cool thing about this modular system is you can actually put batteries or
power modules anywhere you want and then the back plane at the back sorts the
whole thing out you can actually even daisy chain multiples of these together
however I really don't think we're going to need more than 10,000 watts in our
server room um for the foreseeable future look at this user's
guide I mean I don't blame them I mean this thing is not your simple plug into
the wall and then hum up I guess it works just fine in fact with the 12,000
KT amp unit that we've got we had to wire up a completely separate ADM amp
breaker and then we have to hardwire this guy into that if you want to get
one of the bigger units the 12 or the 15 Kilt amp units you actually need here
check this out or the the 15 or the 18 you need a 100 amp or a 125 amp breaker
and then you have to have an electrician come in and wire the thing in I don't
know what these do well they make that noise I
guess so here's some more accessories these are
uh dads that go in
here that's not how they go on so I probably shouldn't force the
issue that is how they go on some of you are probably wondering what the point of
something like this is and here we'll we'll walk and talk we'll walk and talk so I'll take this over to where it's
going so the point of having a UPS unit that fully loaded is going to weigh
somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 to 700 lb is that it will not only o act as
a battery backup but will also actually
condition the power that is coming into our server room so because this is an
online double conversion UPS all of our
server gear will be running 100% of the time off of the batteries and because it
uses very very high quality inverters that isn't an issue like it would be
with a consumer grade UPS the other
benefit of double conversion online UPS
is is that in the event of a power outage there is absolutely zero delay
between oh wow thanks Johnny we don't want to run over that network cable
there is zero delay once the power goes out when it needs to when a when a
normal ups like a cheapo consumer grade one would actually have to switch
between AC power and battery power meaning that your equipment is never
subjected to that kind of stress which leads us very well to where we're going
to be installing it so Harry Potter thought he was getting an upgrade to his
closet when the contractors showed up but it was all a lie Harry Potter's
closet is now this big and we are actually going to be
sealing the UPS Into the Now expanded
server room which in addition to its four dedicated 15 amp circuits here
additional 15 amp circuit here also
has I believe this is a 100 amp circuit
that we had wired in and that we're going to directly attach to the Eaton
ups and then it'll sit right here and plug into all of our gear bity Bop just
like that this cardboard is both a blessing and a
curse and slow okay cool now I got the
weight go ahead and pull the card
out okay and that's pretty much that all
right let's check this baby out so inside this second pallet that arrived
today we are going to find our power
units and our battery units as well as what what is this
$350 like 100 megabit network card what
a scam a freaking scam Enterprise gear
is well because it's proprietary and we
uh decided that we're buttholes two skids oh they didn't know
you were going to be here Dennis they've only got me and Johnny
covered so how many power modules did we get it was three right Johnny no four
four four power modules yeah
I feel like I work at like Fort Knox because I'm moving heavy stuff that
costs way too much around waa That's Heavy holy crap
okay okay I'll help
steer hold
on Save the network
cable oh my foot okay I'm okay I'm fine I'm good y that's fine that's good for
the foot okay this bastard needs to go
in there I guess so let's just if you're going to you just test one well we
shouldn't load them first right we should put it in there first and then
load them right sure yeah okay okay let's do this
then let's watch that height yeah we're
good yay measuring tape go team measure
mons hope for the
best okay how we doing now perit per
we're in no big deal okay so let's start loading up some
modules shall we o who okay I broke a
thing that was quick oh really it's this
clip oh the clip where did it go
inside did you see I heard it trickle down here oh you got to be kidding
me oh it's right it's
like what the the
hell oh this yeah what the hell
eaten I don't even know how these side panels come off they're like scaled over
top of each other I see it
too what the hell
eaten oh there I got it you got it yeah
wow okay all right let's do
this I'm like sweating yeah know right I
don't know if I'm sweating because it costs so much or because uh this is
heavy sure oh yeah you take the cool stuff I get to do the stupid
batteries so this feels like a
handle oh cool okay I think I no I don't at all actually what oh yeah I see it
cool so this we should do batteries on the bottom I guess right so the
batteries plug into these puppies and
then the power modules plug into the other
stuff uh what the
heck I can't tell if that's in or not oh it seems to be in wow is that like a
zero insertion Force connector that's cool that'll make the hot swap really
easy so you can actually you can actually hot swap batteries and power
modules at will assuming that you have enough um enough extra for the power
modules that you're not just overloading the unit when you you know pull out all
the power modules over whatever so this is interesting the cooling actually
intakes at the back and then exhausts on this side over
here oh that's a good look at uh at the guts of this baby here that's some big
copper coils and aluminum heat sinks they got going on in there not to
mention you know the resistors and the yeah wow so oh careful Johnny so that is
pretty much it we've got all all the
power modules loaded
in all the battery modules loaded in and
all that's left is back here we're going to take three copper wires from our
panel put them into the back of the unit
plug some extension cords into our servers and bippity boity boom we are
ready to rock with our massive 1,000 W
battery backup and on a totally unrelated note
Mass drop and this is pretty cool
they've got the k7xx limited edition ruby red headphones in addition to all
the other cool stuff over at massdrop.com which by the way you can
check out at the link in the video description this particular drop though
and it's the same usual concept the more people buy the better the price this is
a limited edition of the k7x headphones that I actually reviewed here the only
real difference is that this run uses red accents on the ear cups and the
headband please note this is a limited drop with only 1,500 units so if you
want a pair you're going to want to act pretty fast in terms of spec it was
configured by mast drop and manufactured by AKG these are open-backed headphones
with very very large cushiony uh ear cups they've got a flat wire voice coil
very motion two layer diaphragm genuine leather headband actually that's really
nice memory foam ear pads with vour covering uh they weigh 8.3 o okay
there's an awful lot of specs in my notes Here many of which are not
terribly important to your warranty covered by mass drop and if you're
ordering from outside the US you can still get it but please note that your
distribution will be handled through a third party so a $25 fee will be
assessed to all International orders so if you want to check this out and get
yourself the ruby red pair of K7 xx's just head over to draws lt- k7xx to see
that and all the other awesome stuff that they have on Mast
drop so thanks for checking out this episode of holy [ __ ] online is Tech tips
