WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.580 it's a beautiful Saturday morning in May the Sun's shining a gentle breeze is 00:00:04.740 --> 00:00:11.300 blowing and I've got big plans 00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:18.119 to work and stay inside and finally fix our broken UPS yes my 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:24.779 friends the battery backup in our server room lit on fire and it has taken us 00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:26.460 until now but we finally got it our 00:00:24.779 --> 00:00:30.720 replacement unit from Eaton so we're going to be pulling that one out putting 00:00:28.619 --> 00:00:34.650 this one in and all with the help of everyone's best friend Brian the 00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.380 electrician Brian 00:00:36.380 --> 00:00:41.760 electrifying and helpful such a helpful 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 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 00:00:51.180 --> 00:00:59.640 place we've got them linked below so Eaton had some complaints about the way 00:00:57.180 --> 00:01:04.260 that we had our original UPS configured they kind of went number one you guys 00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:08.400 did not have enough airflow around that unit they were they were particularly 00:01:06.119 --> 00:01:13.080 unhappy about that number two there is absolutely no way to get this thing out 00:01:10.380 --> 00:01:16.740 of there and get a new one in so we installed 00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:21.420 magnetic doors into the back of the server room Isn't 00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:26.159 that cool so they're these nice thick heavy doors so they actually still block 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 00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:33.780 noise absorbing material that I have hazardly installed inside the server 00:01:32.460 --> 00:01:38.759 room a little while back you might have noticed it only goes to about here 00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:41.040 that's because this wall used to be the 00:01:38.759 --> 00:01:45.659 back wall of the server room but the technician from Eaton came here and was 00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:49.500 like hey you guys need to have a bunch of clearance behind the unit so we 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 00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:59.640 stuff so I can have all of my server room specific cables and junk right back 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 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.340 tack cable 00:02:07.860 --> 00:02:12.360 eaten all but blamed our installer those 00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:15.480 of you who were there will probably remember our installer because I 00:02:14.160 --> 00:02:21.000 remember doing this but I don't remember doing this I mean I could be wrong 00:02:17.340 --> 00:02:23.220 actually huh huh yeah I could be wrong I 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:28.680 use the top of the up ow I'm fine just that thing dropped on my 00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:31.140 foot my perfectly adequately protected 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 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 00:02:40.099 --> 00:02:45.000 right now because our ups isn't running 00:02:43.260 --> 00:02:48.599 we don't have enough circuits in this room so we're actually just grabbing 00:02:46.980 --> 00:02:52.980 power from other circuits around the office and running extension cords in 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:56.519 here it's a super bad time actually we should just turn them off the craziest 00:02:54.599 --> 00:03:00.120 thing about all these batteries is that if we have all the servers running Full 00:02:58.140 --> 00:03:04.019 Tilt I think it only goes for like an hour Eaton actually worked out a pretty 00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:09.060 nice deal for us even though we were slightly out of warranty they agreed to 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:11.640 cover the main unit as long as we bought 00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:16.319 our own I think it was batteries which these were coming up on time to replace 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 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 00:03:22.620 --> 00:03:27.239 we had to talk through some of the things we did wrong to make sure that 00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:31.519 other Eaton customers don't make the same mistakes the UPS trains are coming 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 00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:44.879 generation replacement for this 00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:44.879 oh wow 00:03:45.860 --> 00:03:51.540 yeah the bonfire going on in there do 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 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 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:02.819 more convenient it's just a straight piece of metal and thick yeah and it 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:06.780 well not necessarily but some of them are yeah damn look at that one so 00:04:04.739 --> 00:04:13.500 whatever happened here with these bus bars yeah they their connections likely 00:04:09.480 --> 00:04:15.180 were loose and over time it right in 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 00:04:17.220 --> 00:04:22.620 that's another thing that Eaton gave me heck for because we should be having 00:04:20.880 --> 00:04:27.840 this serviced I think it's either every six months or annually to make sure that 00:04:25.259 --> 00:04:30.840 everything is hunky-dory inside so this is the kind of thing that a regular 00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:33.900 service should have caught we mean by loose 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 00:04:37.139 --> 00:04:43.500 Fasteners on there is it possible that that's something that is supposed to 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 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:50.759 because again how would this thing go for three years with no Fasteners there 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 00:04:54.479 --> 00:05:02.400 electrician is supposed to tie in covers that generally yeah all the electrician 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 00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:11.160 is generally pre-done I can tell you now that Eaton blamed it on installer 00:05:09.060 --> 00:05:16.500 failure okay and then you're looking at it blaming it on Eaton's failure yeah 00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:18.840 well I see both sides of this because to 00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:24.780 me what this looks like is Eaton's intent is for these to be either hooked 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 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:33.960 an eaten technician present or to check it over before you actually flip the 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 00:05:36.060 --> 00:05:44.039 go well that's a colossally stupid design to not have these at least with 00:05:41.220 --> 00:05:48.120 placeholder nuts on them yeah for any that I'm not actually connecting because 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 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 00:05:55.199 --> 00:06:02.759 see it both ways this here is the 9pxm 00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:07.440 it can be configured in uh let me see 00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:08.759 yeah okay 4 8 12 16 and 20 kilovolt amp 00:06:07.440 --> 00:06:12.840 configurations I guess they assume you're going to want at least one of the 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 00:06:16.440 --> 00:06:22.680 configured it in a oh man it's heavy in 00:06:20.039 --> 00:06:27.060 a 12 kilovolt amp configuration so this right here list price is about nine 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:30.900 grand for the 12 kilovolt amp config you're 00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:36.780 going to need three of these modular power modules that lists for about 11 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 00:06:40.500 --> 00:06:47.039 sort of Bays here rather six Bays that's 00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:48.840 worth about 2500 bucks and then rounding 00:06:47.039 --> 00:06:52.380 out the configuration is our fifteen hundred dollar startup commission which 00:06:50.280 --> 00:06:56.819 we are definitely paying this time the two thousand dollars for the warranty 00:06:54.539 --> 00:07:01.620 and of course a six hundred dollar gigabit network card 00:06:58.620 --> 00:07:03.900 they really do get you on that uh you 00:07:01.620 --> 00:07:08.580 know Enterprise specialty stuff because let me tell you a gigabit network card 00:07:06.539 --> 00:07:13.319 under normal circumstances would be worth about six dollars not six hundred 00:07:11.940 --> 00:07:18.360 dollars is that a SIM card oh that kind of makes 00:07:16.020 --> 00:07:22.139 sense if you wanted to have like always for sure definitely connectivity oh 00:07:20.340 --> 00:07:26.460 that's really cool that brings our total to about thirty thousand dollars for 00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:30.660 everything you see here but it's hard to say how reflective of the real world 00:07:28.440 --> 00:07:35.039 that really is because these kinds of products are rarely sold at list price 00:07:32.400 --> 00:07:39.120 in fact our invoice has like a list price and then a customer price and you 00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:45.599 gotta remember that this is in Canadian monetary units so around back you can 00:07:43.020 --> 00:07:49.680 see we've got these gorgeous 30 amp connectors over here I figured out what 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 00:07:51.780 --> 00:07:58.199 it full of batteries so that might explain why you would do like a five 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 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:07.500 full of batteries getting access to the inside is as simple as opening up a 00:08:04.740 --> 00:08:12.120 hinged door and they've switched from locking nuts to nuts and washers I 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 00:08:14.460 --> 00:08:20.340 hole saw big enough to put our Tech cable through the bottom of one of these 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 00:08:22.020 --> 00:08:29.639 using foreign 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 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:38.760 tight spot like that that is so cool you have the coolest 00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:41.940 toys I mean I have the coolest toys but you have the second coolest toys all 00:08:40.560 --> 00:08:44.760 right should we put this in there oh that's not bad why you gotta emasculate 00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:48.899 me like that you always do this 00:08:46.740 --> 00:08:53.600 you specifically went around to the heavy side you could have just as easily 00:08:51.060 --> 00:08:59.300 taken the light side or where it's equal oh God that's heavy 00:08:56.640 --> 00:09:05.820 we can put it down now that's why I took the heavy Sidelines 00:09:01.920 --> 00:09:08.220 we'll slide no problem no problem 00:09:05.820 --> 00:09:12.720 good this is like cable management for men Cable Management I like that crazy 00:09:11.700 --> 00:09:16.680 idea we drill this into some two by fours and 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 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 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 00:09:26.580 --> 00:09:32.279 alumnus well yeah I didn't want to host the 00:09:30.660 --> 00:09:37.260 video by myself hey got him 00:09:35.459 --> 00:09:40.920 okay well let's see if it actually works before I congratulate myself too much 00:09:38.880 --> 00:09:45.000 here you know your ring connector is Hardcore when you literally need a 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:49.740 hammer to tighten it I believe they do actually make like funky wrenches to 00:09:47.459 --> 00:09:54.420 grab the lock nut great work Brian you know he's not even a real electrician 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:55.620 anymore yeah I do Refrigeration now 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 00:09:58.740 --> 00:10:03.779 you're subscribed it's gonna be great 00:10:02.040 --> 00:10:10.440 I ordered the wrong air conditioner twice here it is the 600 gigabit network 00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:13.740 card an environmental monitoring probe gen 2. I don't remember paying for this 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 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 00:10:20.700 --> 00:10:27.779 up well these are fancier than the old ones man those are deep 00:10:24.660 --> 00:10:30.720 all right here we go these actually 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 00:10:33.420 --> 00:10:40.560 thing is dense hey we got the room I replaced my six batteries with six 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 00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:49.079 power modules I could put another six batteries in this thing wait 00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:52.920 what is this is this thing only half full 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:56.820 I mean assuming everything is the same capacity and they've got twice as many 00:10:55.019 --> 00:11:01.140 cooling fans on them now I believe the old ones only had one cooling fan these 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 00:11:02.820 --> 00:11:08.640 this is by comparison absolutely Pinner 00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:13.380 the difference in depth and height more than makeup for the uh 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 00:11:15.180 --> 00:11:20.399 about six inches of space on this side because you can see the ventilation at 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:24.839 the back because of the AC output is kind of impeded and those fans from the 00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:28.680 power modules which can only go on this side are pulling air in from the front 00:11:26.760 --> 00:11:32.220 so what we should really be doing is shoving it over a little bit but the 00:11:30.060 --> 00:11:37.019 problem as I noticed from the front is that it's not really movable anymore 00:11:35.820 --> 00:11:41.339 really oh yeah there you go easy 00:11:39.260 --> 00:11:43.980 shout out Brian okay these aren't actually plugged into anything we're not 00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:48.420 going to be drawing any power from it so okay okay maybe back up a little 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 00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:53.060 it I'm not 00:11:53.839 --> 00:12:01.200 all right well this one's definitely got some cooling fans in it yeah they're 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:05.220 they're goers but is it actually delivering any power all the switches on 00:12:03.300 --> 00:12:11.160 the back here look like they're off okay load not powered press power button to 00:12:07.560 --> 00:12:13.440 turn on hey the Fan's on online mode so 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 00:12:15.660 --> 00:12:20.820 server rack onto this thing now aren't you very tempted not having a battery 00:12:19.260 --> 00:12:25.980 backup has been making me very uncomfortable with the inspection done 00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:27.420 it's move-in day this comes off the top 00:12:25.980 --> 00:12:31.920 of the rack and goes back here in the back of the 00:12:29.279 --> 00:12:34.920 server closet now all my excess hard drives so these are my cold spares in 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:40.079 case something fails and I need something to quickly throw in there to rebuild the array 00:12:37.560 --> 00:12:43.200 and all the accessories for the Eaton UPS 00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:46.440 actually these don't need their own box do they 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 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 00:12:55.620 --> 00:13:02.720 them in my server room and that's it everything's back on 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:06.660 and Battery backed up 00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:08.399 and it's brought to you by linode linode 00:13:06.660 --> 00:13:12.839 provides virtual servers that make it easy and affordable to host your own app 00:13:10.139 --> 00:13:16.560 site service or whatever you want in the cloud other
