bondbill2k2 Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) They also forgot to tidy the cables in the rack. Real men waste hours climbing over, around and through cable knotted piles in these situations, who needs to tidy! Edited November 30, 2012 by bondbill2k2
3s-gtech Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Perhaps it's the cabinet that's upside down? I guess the fourth mounting bolt would have been excessive too

X-13 Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Perhaps it's the cabinet that's upside down? I guess the fourth mounting bolt would have been excessive too From the looks of the U markings down the side, it's flippable.
plexer Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 That because when they went to plug the cables in they only fit one way round so they fitted the appliance to suit? Ben
CAM Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 At least they didn't install the Firebox in the boiler room.
PICNIC Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 This is a classic: [ATTACH=CONFIG]16141[/ATTACH] That would be fine if it was gaffer tape
X-13 Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 That would be fine if it was gaffer tape It appears to be electrical tape. As an electrical appliance, it was the right choice. 3
Michael Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 That would be fine if it was gaffer tape What on earth happened to that? It's what caravans end up looking like on TopGear! 1
twin--turbo Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) It's also only held in by three cage bolts. Quality, are you sure they were not consultants in a previous life. They were lucky to find 3 over there! I have tones of them here.. @Ric_ Ref cables.... Actually the installers who put the system in did not tidy them up, it's on our helpdesk to finish the work off for both server rooms. Edited November 30, 2012 by twin--turbo
mthomas08 Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 This could go in the common sense thread "Able to install something right way up"!

twin--turbo Posted November 30, 2012 Author Posted November 30, 2012 Well the kit is hopefuly the right way up, it's now on and working running pFsense for our BYOD captive portal. Rob 1
john Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) I was impressed when my technician and PFY admitted to this one (my techy has worked in IT for a LOT of years) The excuse was its a Stone computers chassis and its front folds out so it was "right" when it was unfolded....

sjatkn Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 At least they got it lining up with the U markings. Most of our racks, installed by a predecessor (my favorite saying at the moment), installed most of ours with a 1/3 U gap between each item to allow cables to run in between the switches.

twin--turbo Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 My last day today... Spot the Mistake from NM
SYNACK Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 My last day today... Spot the Mistake from NM [ATTACH=CONFIG]22570[/ATTACH] Fail It could almost be valid XML if there was no opening tag and all the content was in the last bit, maybe it is some strange hybrid knocked up in a basment somewhere
LosOjos Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 My last day today... Spot the Mistake from NM [ATTACH=CONFIG]22570[/ATTACH] The pedant in me is offended by the misspelling of panic and the geek in me is offended by the incorrect XML. I'm very offended!

LosOjos Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Write a letter to "points of view" then. [The spelling was the first thing I noticed...] Only if I can do my own voice... Joe Swanson style.
twin--turbo Posted January 31, 2014 Author Posted January 31, 2014 I only just noticed the "K" now ... Sad day realy but this made me chuckle. I doubt it will settle in till monday when I am in my new job. Rob
