For talking about UPS systems, PDUs, server racks, cooling systems, auto transfer switches, KVM terminals and anything else that would seem to fit in the infastructure topic
Any supporters?

Agree on possible name mismatch, also agree on request for a section/sticky covering what jd456 is talking aboutWhen I read "infastructure" I instantly think of servers & clients and networking, not necessarily the things that are mentioned in the first post
Ok so this seems quite popular
What would be included?
I can think of
anything missing?
If infastructure is not the correct name, what is? server room / rack / power accesories?
@Patrick any thoughts?
What would be included?
I can think of
- server room / rack cooling (ac units / air handlers, water cooling, cooled doors, room exhaust /intake fans / filters)
- rack acessories (airflow baffles, drawers, shelves, server rails)
- rack monitoring systems (water, smoke, intrusion, humidy, temp, ect)
- UPS systems and battery setups
- power distribution systems
- Generator systems / auto transfer switches
- TCP to serial adapers, usb to serial adapters
- KVM systems / rack consoles
anything missing?

That would be a nice subforum to move my water cooling question/adventures thread to lol
Maybe when we get more folks talking about it we can have a dedicated subforum.
I am sure in time watercooling will be a topic that gets a lot of attention. Right now it’s only practical to cool about 25kw per rack with air although so far I am mostly only doing upto about half that except for some special stuff. I can see this all changing fast with the CPU’s/GPU’s arriving and the density increasing even more.
I could imagine there is a few of us who are not electricians or HVAC people would still like to talk about the merits of DRUPS vs static UPS’s or TN-S vs TN-C-S earthing arrangements etc and that may not to be of interest to many but the more general rack of cooking topics could be.
I usually call this ‘housing’ ‘housing infrastructure’ rather than just say IT infrastructure or qualify infrastructure if just using that.
