Comment on Moving servers and rack equipment
thanksforallthefish@literature.cafe 16 hours agoFair enough - racks in entirety/untouched dramatically reduces the risk of not being able to get stuff back up because of miscabling or missed cabling. I could see that approach being sensible if you’re moving across town.
I personally wouldnt if moving between cities, YMMV of course.

We did it 1,500 miles across multiple states. Also when we ordered new servers we ordered fully built and cabled racks, shipped from HP in Juarez to our doors in giant crates filled cabled. Unpack, plug in power and uplinks and the entire rack was ready to go. We were getting like 2-3 of those a week.
