The long awaited 24U Dell Rack Enclosure Canbinet has finally been delivered to the JISC Project Team. Around 1:30pm, I was joined by Darren and Panagiotis and we started to figure out how to assemble the racking kits into the cabinet in which two Dell servers were to be installed. The SUCoD server (a PowerEdge 4400), aged about 7-8 years old, went in first. Much to my relief, it fitted very well into the chassis. The power redundent unit went in next followed by the new ucampus server (a PowerEdge 2950 III).
It took us about 2.5 hours to fit them all with the cables/leads connected. Both sucod and ucampus were then powered up. Good to see the two servers running OK with the new IP addressses. ucampus was then shut down leaving sucod running as normal.
As of today, the hardware setup is almost ready for the team to embark on the very first phase of the ucampus system framework and databanks developments.
