So this big beasty came in today
I spent the morning redoing my UPSs and installing the SM 45 Bay and then the HGST 60 Bay. I'm pretty sure I should visit a chiropractor soon...
It came very well packaged as one box on top of a cardboard pallet (first time I've seen one of those). It comes with the cable management, sliding rails, and two C13-C14 power cords.
The big question most people wanted to know is total length without the cable management. It's almost exactly 34.25".
I know the measuring tape is a little blurry but trust me its exactly that. This includes about 1" of PSU "skirt". See what I mean here:
I highly recommend moving this thing around on a dolly... Plus you get to ride it this way
Next comes racking it. I put it in the Dell 4220 Standard I've show before which is 1070mm in depth. You should read the instructions online for the rack mount, it's nothing crazy or anything but it could save you sometime. I'm allergic to instructions so I ended up setting the rails too low the first time and I also didn't realize that you're supposed to remove the ends of the rails that slide out, screw them on the chassis, then slide them + chassis back into the main rails in the rack.
Here's the front view:
The bottom two are my Eaton UPSs then the HGST, then the SM on top. It looks like some kind of weird crate from this angle. I also need to refinish my floors...
Next up are the back shots that show clearance with my Eaton 0U PDUs. There's not much space there, not sure I like it but it's not blocking anything completely either.
Here is an angle shot of the clearance to give you a better idea:
I'm not crazy about the position it's in right now. This might work better as the first item in the rack with the UPSs on top of it. That will be a project for another day though. I haven't powered it on yet (the SM either) but if you have any questions about anything else please let me know.
