My server rack

I picked up my server rack from some local guy that seemed to be selling off an abandoned server farm, I think in Morrisville.

Power

CyberPower OR700LCDRM1U UPS 700VA/400W

The CyberPower has a very useful "Load Percentage" display. It is under ~65% load with bitpost and melange plugged in. I decided I did not want to keep it perpetually on the edge of overload by adding cast to it.

APC Back-UPS E S 550 550VA/330W

This dirty power does the dirty work, providing UPS for cast and all additional electronics.

All electronics that are not UPS protected are behind the surge protection of both the CyberPower and APS550.

Power consumption

Component	PSU	CyberPower isolated capacity
Bitpost	750W	30-35%
Melange	750W	30-35%
Cast	750W	30-35%
Bluto	1050W	45%, 135% when gaming (overloaded, constant beeping)
Toggle-off power strip	-	40% fully loaded with Sony Logitech etc.
Sony 65" TV	-	37%
Logitech 7.1 amped speakers	-	3%

HISTORY

Prev APS Back-UPS 750 ES UPS: melange, cast, Always-On-Ups strip (usb hub, server case fan, asus router, tplink switch)

Update:

x pull toggle-off power strip from wall, plug into APS550 Surge
x mount CyberPower and plug into wall
x update and shut down Bitpost, unplug, plug into CP-UPS, turn on, fix IP as needed, etc.
x check power consumption and adjust plan
x update and shut down melange, unplug, plug into CP-UPS, turn on
x check power consumption and adjust plan - seems to me putting cast on CP-UPS would push us over the limit far too often
x update and shut down cast, unplug
x pull APS550 from wall, plug into CP Surge
plug cast into APS550, turn on
fix IP as needed etc
pull always-on-ups strip from APS 750W, plug into APS550 UPS
pull APS750 from APS550, harvest battery, mark battery, SMASH APS750
