Having fairly recently moved 3 x 48u racks up to a 2nd floor office by hand I can tell you that you Linus missed a trick here. You unpack it all in the loading area, and pull of all the doors then it makes the frame weigh a fraction of the fully assembled weight. You can easily carry just the frame and the doors separately, but I guess that wouldn't make as amusing video :)

[@zector0]

Yepp, having moved a few hundred racks and their content between datacenters and multiple flights of stairs by hand, I fully agree.

Hi, speaking up as one of those datacenter guys, laughing at this video ;-) A pair of dollies is all you need to move a rack, if it has no wheels (or doesn't fit in the door). There are special "Shoulder Dolly Moving Straps" for moving heavy items like washing machines across uneven surfaces without breaking your back. As for the cage nuts, there is a has a really nice "Cage Nut Insertion/Removal Tool", it's tiny, but it's also just the right size. (FS has nice cage nuts) Tip: Screw in the bottom bolts first, as they will keep your device upright. Special tip: Splitting a 48-port switch into an upper and lower 24-port patch panel makes for a gorgeous build, if you use tiny patch cables.

[@rtepic]

Hey! I can be that data center guy at 11:33. That tools pretty rare, I'm the only one I know who doesn't just use the little pull through one that comes with the bags of nuts. It's amazing once you get the hang of it. You have to rock them in from inside to out. The opposite of what ya'll were trying. I actually carry that thing, the toe nail clipper one, and the screwdriver handle J hook one since all have a specific time when they're the fastest. Sometime the cage nut wings are too wide or the holes are out of spec and you need the screw driver handle J hook one to force them in. Rack solutions needs to make that thing out of slightly stronger metal, or maybe just thiker. I discovered that really squeezing on it I can bend the crappy cage nuts and I can get it to work almost everywhere.... but now my handles are bending.

@@bober1019 Color's a marker of personality. As I mentioned, my bosses aren't tech-savvy.

I don't think a small Marketing agency that handles car dealerships around Eastern Canada would ever see the need to spray-paint a server rack hot pink - but the *possibility* of it amused my higher-ups. That's what my comment was pointing towards. It's led to a few jokes and comments concerning how we might conceivably make the server room more "liveable". When Management figured we needed to revamp our furniture, we repurposed two chairs and a side table, set a few blank mugs and magazines on it, and staged a mock lounge right next to the rack, complete with a nice little bowl holding a few pairs of disposable foam ear plugs. We took a few pics, pretended to be chilling out, then brought the stuff out and chucked it in the trash container. It got a few laughs out of our colleagues, at least.

It's a very short video in which Linus burns a USB key on his barbecue.

[@RandomUser2401]

and the freakin Macbook reviews ffs. Those are out now for like 3 weeks. WTH are you guys doing?

[@Michael-wo6ld]

@@RandomUser2401 they're Canadian so they don't get sent product, not that apple engages with them after Linus publicly criticizes them all the time anyways.

[@RandomUser2401]

You should’ve moved back the front vertical mounting rails (you know, the things where you put your cage nuts in). Decent racks have the option to do so, there’ll be pre-drilled and tapped holes for your bolts in the bottom of the rack. If you’re going to mount appliances with front IO, you otherwise won’t be able to close the front door. Decent racks are deep enough to house full depth servers even if the you move back the mounting rails

[@USSMariner]

I actually buy certain items in hot pink (umbrellas, first aid, kits, etc.) so I can see them easily. If the power goes out, I wouldn't mind a hot pink server cabinet.

"Datacenter guy just sitting there laughing at us?" LMAO, YES, SOOO YES!!! I am laughting!

The Datacenter guy, the mover, the garbageman, the chef, the florist,, the gas station cashier...LOL

Linus: "I guess its time to.." Everyone: "...to drop something?"

[@pg-l4469]

12:50 Linus’ shaft seems real small in comparison to his rack!

[@yumenozen]

If y'all get a pair of shoulder dolly like straps from Amazon, or Harbor Freight/whatever equivalent is local to you, they're super worth it. My husband and I regularly move large and heavy appliances and they make it so much easier.

[@eformance]

The *ENTIRE TIME* I'm thinking "do they know that cabinets come apart and you can carry them in pieces?"

[@Androl-ks3jo]

Removable pannels are just made for that purpose !

[@klorslug]

3:35 You’d think they’d include some touch up paint when they shipped it knowing it was for Linus

[@ttomkins4867]

Not just for Linus, any order should have it, along with a paint chip/sample so you can get more mixed up if needed.

[@MariusNinjai]

@@ttomkins4867 Thats alot of paint to give out maybe just make it buyable

[@itsmatchew]

LOVE SEEING THE NEW HOUSE CONTENT, HOPE WE GET MORE AND IT NEVER ENDS!!!

[@AFFEmitMACKE]

Reminds me of my teenager RC car times. Making your racer as neon bright acid coloured as possible was kinda THEE hype back then. Having your off road buggy or stadium truck causing eye cancer was half winning any comkpetition :D

[@KiwiHelpgeek]

Lying in bed at the start of my days off and watching Linus hurt himself. Life is good.

[@Anodoin]

Not gonna lie, I kinda want that in my datacenter.

[@Frraksurred]

Can confirm Ubiquiti's rack screws are pure frustration. Did my home system over the Summer, they were the source of the bulk of my profanity.

[@damonm3]

So Linus has enough bandwidth for his whole city block 😂

[@kaislate]

Use rack studs. They are soooo much better You can also place tape over the holes in between the equipment and the rack and punch through with a screwdriver. It protects the equipment and protects the finish on the rack. You can't see it once everything is installed. Pro audio tips.

[@codyfrankenberg6282]

just gotta say I really appreciate the chapters it make it so easy to go back to a video and find a bit of info I need.

[@Newboy37]

Love how Linus questions the script at the start lol

[@MostlyPennyCat]

_or did he??_

[@deadlypyre]

He himself wrote that script lol

[@raphael8776]

What if that was the script?

[@deadlypyre]

Linus questioning the script is IN the script lol

[@random_n]

Tech tip for today: most racks have removable doors and sides. Removing them makes the remaining part a lot lighter.

[@shintyxd788]

isnt that like a technical way of sayin breast expanders or whatever u call them

[@OfficialMikeJ]

When Jake says "you know they have a 25GBe Switch coming out ?" Linus's eyes lit up like a christmas tree and said "really" ! lol

[@FknSparklez]

Linus saying "Sugar we're going down swinging" made my day.

[@taylormooney9462]

Yes UI's rack hardware is a pain. I highly recommend AC Infinity for rack hardware. I've converted my 5 casinos, hotel and corporate office to them and will never look back. I think total replacement was about around 4000 sets and at $20 for 50 of them I think the value was reasonable too for the quality control. They make some pretty neat rack accessories too that I use in a couple of my datacenter racks.

[@PerryCS2]

I got a 42U rack, I took it apart in the driveway - removed all the side panels and reduced it's weight by over 150lbs... you're doing it the hard way... lol It looks similar to my Cyberpower 42U rack... except mine is black, your is hot pink. lol. The pink actually looks good. LOL!

[@ex0stasis72]

As someone who's made it my job to hire myself out to help lift objects like this, I can say that they made moving that rack much harder than it needed to be. All they needed was a shoulder strap 2-person dolly so they lift with their legs and you only use your hands to balance it. Then everyone should use a pair of rubber grip gloves. The keyword here is "grip", not those gardening gloves you might be thinking. Without grip gloves, so much unnecessary effort goes into simply gripping, but with grip gloves you just put inward force from both sides with an open flat palm.

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

SO Linus should wear the grip gloves 24/7/365 then.

[@a3-radio]

"they have a 25 gb coming out soon" Linus in 4 months: "i'm upgrading my home server room before even moving!?"

[@jesseg7757]

As a datacenter guy yes, I'm laughing at you. :) You need a second battery backup, a pair of vertical rack PDU strips, and some cable management....

[@huh6247]

Linus knew what he was doing with that title…

[@ninjashuriken]

The intro is all the proof one needs

[@nusermane1076]

Well, finally the sheet metal of Linus old car got recycled and ended up as a rack, even the colour was intact! What a good way of recycling 😁

[@phillee2814]

I am that network guy laughing at you putting the cage-nuts in - I used to put them in by hand, tool-less. It's just a knack, but acquiring it requires many pingfukits. And the downside of li-Ion batteries is that they should not be stored at full (or even high) charge for long periods, as voltage kills them - unlike SLAs which should be kept fully charged so are far superior (despite the additional weight) for UPSs, stairlifts, and alarm backups. The lead is endlessly recycled anyway and is only a penalty in mobile use. Just install the UPS empty and add batteries when installed (mine is 3kVA, and dates from antiquity, although it is 5U). I think APC stopped making it about 15 years ago. The downside is the need to maintain a VM with WinXP on a PC with a real RS232 to connect with the last version of Powerchute to support the proprietary signalling on the management port. NT 3.51 originally, then 4, then 2k, then XP. The hypervisor has to pass through the RS232 port to the VM. When a UPS lasts beyond OS support for its management software and even hardware support for its management interface, you KNOW it is good! BTW, it is far better to colour-code the patch cables by function of the endpoint - camera, WAP, Server, Router, NAS, End-user use (PC or similar), etc. Oh, and tag any which are for PoE at both ends. I originally created short patch cables for a data centre in London, and don't know of any prior use. I'd got sick of "cable management" inserts for racks, which just became a complete tangle and wasted valuable rack space, so came up with alternating patch panels and network equipment, so that cables could be traced at a glance. It was Token Ring, which shows how long ago it was! You're welcome.
