1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,580
it's a beautiful Saturday morning in May the Sun's shining a gentle breeze is

2
00:00:04,740 --> 00:00:11,300
blowing and I've got big plans

3
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:18,119
to work and stay inside and finally fix our broken UPS yes my

4
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:24,779
friends the battery backup in our server room lit on fire and it has taken us

5
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:26,460
until now but we finally got it our

6
00:00:24,779 --> 00:00:30,720
replacement unit from Eaton so we're going to be pulling that one out putting

7
00:00:28,619 --> 00:00:34,650
this one in and all with the help of everyone's best friend Brian the

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,380
electrician Brian

9
00:00:36,380 --> 00:00:41,760
electrifying and helpful such a helpful

10
00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:47,399
man and it's brought to you by ruggable use code LTT to get 15 off ruggable rugs

11
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:53,940
they'll protect your floors from your computer chair and they're machine washable with non-slip pads to stay in

12
00:00:51,180 --> 00:00:59,640
place we've got them linked below so Eaton had some complaints about the way

13
00:00:57,180 --> 00:01:04,260
that we had our original UPS configured they kind of went number one you guys

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:08,400
did not have enough airflow around that unit they were they were particularly

15
00:01:06,119 --> 00:01:13,080
unhappy about that number two there is absolutely no way to get this thing out

16
00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:16,740
of there and get a new one in so we installed

17
00:01:14,780 --> 00:01:21,420
magnetic doors into the back of the server room Isn't

18
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:26,159
that cool so they're these nice thick heavy doors so they actually still block

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:30,780
the sound in there extremely well but now we've got easy access so this is the

20
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:33,780
noise absorbing material that I have hazardly installed inside the server

21
00:01:32,460 --> 00:01:38,759
room a little while back you might have noticed it only goes to about here

22
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:41,040
that's because this wall used to be the

23
00:01:38,759 --> 00:01:45,659
back wall of the server room but the technician from Eaton came here and was

24
00:01:42,900 --> 00:01:49,500
like hey you guys need to have a bunch of clearance behind the unit so we

25
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:54,240
ripped out this wallet which is great because it means I'm going to actually be able to put like some some bins and

26
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:59,640
stuff so I can have all of my server room specific cables and junk right back

27
00:01:57,060 --> 00:02:04,340
here so I'm actually loving this uh okay so you're up dude how do we remove the

28
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:04,340
tack cable

29
00:02:07,860 --> 00:02:12,360
eaten all but blamed our installer those

30
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:15,480
of you who were there will probably remember our installer because I

31
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:21,000
remember doing this but I don't remember doing this I mean I could be wrong

32
00:02:17,340 --> 00:02:23,220
actually huh huh yeah I could be wrong I

33
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:28,680
use the top of the up ow I'm fine just that thing dropped on my

34
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:31,140
foot my perfectly adequately protected

35
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:35,040
foot I use the top of the UPS to store our cold spare 10 terabyte drives and

36
00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:43,260
then apparently I've also got a network card there should probably put that back in inventory okay ow oh dang it

37
00:02:40,099 --> 00:02:45,000
right now because our ups isn't running

38
00:02:43,260 --> 00:02:48,599
we don't have enough circuits in this room so we're actually just grabbing

39
00:02:46,980 --> 00:02:52,980
power from other circuits around the office and running extension cords in

40
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:56,519
here it's a super bad time actually we should just turn them off the craziest

41
00:02:54,599 --> 00:03:00,120
thing about all these batteries is that if we have all the servers running Full

42
00:02:58,140 --> 00:03:04,019
Tilt I think it only goes for like an hour Eaton actually worked out a pretty

43
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:09,060
nice deal for us even though we were slightly out of warranty they agreed to

44
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,640
cover the main unit as long as we bought

45
00:03:09,060 --> 00:03:16,319
our own I think it was batteries which these were coming up on time to replace

46
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:20,879
them anyway so I think we had to we had to buy the warranty and service plan as

47
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:24,060
well just I don't know maybe they don't trust us the other part of the deal was

48
00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:27,239
we had to talk through some of the things we did wrong to make sure that

49
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:31,519
other Eaton customers don't make the same mistakes the UPS trains are coming

50
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:41,040
hold on let me uh let me just lift up and over the cable oh this is the new

51
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:44,879
generation replacement for this

52
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,879
oh wow

53
00:03:45,860 --> 00:03:51,540
yeah the bonfire going on in there do

54
00:03:49,019 --> 00:03:55,680
you want to give us a short explanation of what we're looking at here what are

55
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,260
bus bars well they serve the same function as a wire it's just it's a lot

56
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,819
more convenient it's just a straight piece of metal and thick yeah and it

57
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:06,780
well not necessarily but some of them are yeah damn look at that one so

58
00:04:04,739 --> 00:04:13,500
whatever happened here with these bus bars yeah they their connections likely

59
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:15,180
were loose and over time it right in

60
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:19,019
this case it looks like it just started to Arc and caught the PCB on fire now

61
00:04:17,220 --> 00:04:22,620
that's another thing that Eaton gave me heck for because we should be having

62
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:27,840
this serviced I think it's either every six months or annually to make sure that

63
00:04:25,259 --> 00:04:30,840
everything is hunky-dory inside so this is the kind of thing that a regular

64
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,900
service should have caught we mean by loose

65
00:04:32,759 --> 00:04:39,540
though there isn't even a nut on them exactly where did that go there should be

66
00:04:37,139 --> 00:04:43,500
Fasteners on there is it possible that that's something that is supposed to

67
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,620
happen at the time of installation but we just didn't know I don't think so

68
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,759
because again how would this thing go for three years with no Fasteners there

69
00:04:48,479 --> 00:04:57,060
and not be an issue and keep in mind too that this being in place where the

70
00:04:54,479 --> 00:05:02,400
electrician is supposed to tie in covers that generally yeah all the electrician

71
00:04:59,699 --> 00:05:07,380
has to do is they enter the cable and tie it in right that's it anything else

72
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:11,160
is generally pre-done I can tell you now that Eaton blamed it on installer

73
00:05:09,060 --> 00:05:16,500
failure okay and then you're looking at it blaming it on Eaton's failure yeah

74
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,840
well I see both sides of this because to

75
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:24,780
me what this looks like is Eaton's intent is for these to be either hooked

76
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:29,880
up or capped off by whoever's installing it and they say they're supposed to be

77
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:33,960
an eaten technician present or to check it over before you actually flip the

78
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:38,400
screen so we're doing that this time but I can see why you would look at this and

79
00:05:36,060 --> 00:05:44,039
go well that's a colossally stupid design to not have these at least with

80
00:05:41,220 --> 00:05:48,120
placeholder nuts on them yeah for any that I'm not actually connecting because

81
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:51,960
it's got this it's got this cover plate in place yeah where everything that I'm

82
00:05:50,340 --> 00:05:59,520
supposed to hook up is here so what I'm supposed to open this up and make sure they put locking nuts on these things I

83
00:05:55,199 --> 00:06:02,759
see it both ways this here is the 9pxm

84
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:07,440
it can be configured in uh let me see

85
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:08,759
yeah okay 4 8 12 16 and 20 kilovolt amp

86
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,840
configurations I guess they assume you're going to want at least one of the

87
00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:20,039
Bays left for batteries or rather that's two so this is the 12 Bay unit we've

88
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:22,680
configured it in a oh man it's heavy in

89
00:06:20,039 --> 00:06:27,060
a 12 kilovolt amp configuration so this right here list price is about nine

90
00:06:25,319 --> 00:06:30,900
grand for the 12 kilovolt amp config you're

91
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:36,780
going to need three of these modular power modules that lists for about 11

92
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:43,560
Grand we've got six battery modules to take up the here we go the bottom three

93
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:47,039
sort of Bays here rather six Bays that's

94
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:48,840
worth about 2500 bucks and then rounding

95
00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:52,380
out the configuration is our fifteen hundred dollar startup commission which

96
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:56,819
we are definitely paying this time the two thousand dollars for the warranty

97
00:06:54,539 --> 00:07:01,620
and of course a six hundred dollar gigabit network card

98
00:06:58,620 --> 00:07:03,900
they really do get you on that uh you

99
00:07:01,620 --> 00:07:08,580
know Enterprise specialty stuff because let me tell you a gigabit network card

100
00:07:06,539 --> 00:07:13,319
under normal circumstances would be worth about six dollars not six hundred

101
00:07:11,940 --> 00:07:18,360
dollars is that a SIM card oh that kind of makes

102
00:07:16,020 --> 00:07:22,139
sense if you wanted to have like always for sure definitely connectivity oh

103
00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:26,460
that's really cool that brings our total to about thirty thousand dollars for

104
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:30,660
everything you see here but it's hard to say how reflective of the real world

105
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:35,039
that really is because these kinds of products are rarely sold at list price

106
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:39,120
in fact our invoice has like a list price and then a customer price and you

107
00:07:37,139 --> 00:07:45,599
gotta remember that this is in Canadian monetary units so around back you can

108
00:07:43,020 --> 00:07:49,680
see we've got these gorgeous 30 amp connectors over here I figured out what

109
00:07:47,460 --> 00:07:53,819
ebm is for so that's if you want to get another one of these units and just have

110
00:07:51,780 --> 00:07:58,199
it full of batteries so that might explain why you would do like a five

111
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:02,400
power module unit because you've just got like one giant one next to it that's

112
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:07,500
full of batteries getting access to the inside is as simple as opening up a

113
00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:12,120
hinged door and they've switched from locking nuts to nuts and washers I

114
00:08:10,919 --> 00:08:15,960
wonder if I'm the only one who ever had that issue while Brian is looking for a

115
00:08:14,460 --> 00:08:20,340
hole saw big enough to put our Tech cable through the bottom of one of these

116
00:08:17,699 --> 00:08:24,379
covers here I'm actually going to put on all the ones that we are not going to be

117
00:08:22,020 --> 00:08:29,639
using foreign

118
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:34,320
attachment ever look at this thing it's an impact gimbal so you can get at a

119
00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:38,760
tight spot like that that is so cool you have the coolest

120
00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:41,940
toys I mean I have the coolest toys but you have the second coolest toys all

121
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:44,760
right should we put this in there oh that's not bad why you gotta emasculate

122
00:08:43,740 --> 00:08:48,899
me like that you always do this

123
00:08:46,740 --> 00:08:53,600
you specifically went around to the heavy side you could have just as easily

124
00:08:51,060 --> 00:08:59,300
taken the light side or where it's equal oh God that's heavy

125
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:05,820
we can put it down now that's why I took the heavy Sidelines

126
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:08,220
we'll slide no problem no problem

127
00:09:05,820 --> 00:09:12,720
good this is like cable management for men Cable Management I like that crazy

128
00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:16,680
idea we drill this into some two by fours and

129
00:09:15,300 --> 00:09:20,820
we're gonna lift it up by four inches yeah you have two by fours yes I have

130
00:09:19,019 --> 00:09:24,600
two by fours is this palette have any two by fours in it oh you have a hammer

131
00:09:22,860 --> 00:09:29,060
I can do it you can do something else don't supervise it's you with the tool

132
00:09:26,580 --> 00:09:32,279
alumnus well yeah I didn't want to host the

133
00:09:30,660 --> 00:09:37,260
video by myself hey got him

134
00:09:35,459 --> 00:09:40,920
okay well let's see if it actually works before I congratulate myself too much

135
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:45,000
here you know your ring connector is Hardcore when you literally need a

136
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:49,740
hammer to tighten it I believe they do actually make like funky wrenches to

137
00:09:47,459 --> 00:09:54,420
grab the lock nut great work Brian you know he's not even a real electrician

138
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,620
anymore yeah I do Refrigeration now

139
00:09:54,420 --> 00:10:02,040
it's okay that's great though because he's going to help me air condition my house stay tuned for that make sure

140
00:09:58,740 --> 00:10:03,779
you're subscribed it's gonna be great

141
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:10,440
I ordered the wrong air conditioner twice here it is the 600 gigabit network

142
00:10:07,500 --> 00:10:13,740
card an environmental monitoring probe gen 2. I don't remember paying for this

143
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:18,839
so this must just be something they sent because they were so unhappy about the deplorable conditions of the old one

144
00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:22,560
maybe they're going to come by with the sensors and explain to us how this hooks

145
00:10:20,700 --> 00:10:27,779
up well these are fancier than the old ones man those are deep

146
00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:30,720
all right here we go these actually

147
00:10:27,779 --> 00:10:36,180
double stack and then they are too wide in each bag that's cool so yeah this

148
00:10:33,420 --> 00:10:40,560
thing is dense hey we got the room I replaced my six batteries with six

149
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:44,760
batteries thinking that like that'd be fine but yeah if I'm going one two three

150
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:49,079
power modules I could put another six batteries in this thing wait

151
00:10:46,740 --> 00:10:52,920
what is this is this thing only half full

152
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:56,820
I mean assuming everything is the same capacity and they've got twice as many

153
00:10:55,019 --> 00:11:01,140
cooling fans on them now I believe the old ones only had one cooling fan these

154
00:10:58,740 --> 00:11:06,720
are these are enormous compared to the old ones so here's one of the old ones

155
00:11:02,820 --> 00:11:08,640
this is by comparison absolutely Pinner

156
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:13,380
the difference in depth and height more than makeup for the uh

157
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:17,100
sort of skinnier profile that it has now that it's in I can see why they want

158
00:11:15,180 --> 00:11:20,399
about six inches of space on this side because you can see the ventilation at

159
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:24,839
the back because of the AC output is kind of impeded and those fans from the

160
00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:28,680
power modules which can only go on this side are pulling air in from the front

161
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:32,220
so what we should really be doing is shoving it over a little bit but the

162
00:11:30,060 --> 00:11:37,019
problem as I noticed from the front is that it's not really movable anymore

163
00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:41,339
really oh yeah there you go easy

164
00:11:39,260 --> 00:11:43,980
shout out Brian okay these aren't actually plugged into anything we're not

165
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:48,420
going to be drawing any power from it so okay okay maybe back up a little

166
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:53,060
just in case no no you're gonna go Kaboom I'm gonna go Kaboom too let's do

167
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,060
it I'm not

168
00:11:53,839 --> 00:12:01,200
all right well this one's definitely got some cooling fans in it yeah they're

169
00:11:59,519 --> 00:12:05,220
they're goers but is it actually delivering any power all the switches on

170
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:11,160
the back here look like they're off okay load not powered press power button to

171
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:13,440
turn on hey the Fan's on online mode so

172
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:17,279
it works yes it does so you're going to be very tempted to uh move the whole

173
00:12:15,660 --> 00:12:20,820
server rack onto this thing now aren't you very tempted not having a battery

174
00:12:19,260 --> 00:12:25,980
backup has been making me very uncomfortable with the inspection done

175
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:27,420
it's move-in day this comes off the top

176
00:12:25,980 --> 00:12:31,920
of the rack and goes back here in the back of the

177
00:12:29,279 --> 00:12:34,920
server closet now all my excess hard drives so these are my cold spares in

178
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:40,079
case something fails and I need something to quickly throw in there to rebuild the array

179
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:43,200
and all the accessories for the Eaton UPS

180
00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:46,440
actually these don't need their own box do they

181
00:12:44,820 --> 00:12:52,800
uh does anyone have a Sharpie marker on them by any chance this is this was so awful and you can

182
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:57,720
pull this red one too to be clear I love power squids this is just I don't want

183
00:12:55,620 --> 00:13:02,720
them in my server room and that's it everything's back on

184
00:12:59,639 --> 00:13:06,660
