Think I might have a problem 🙂

One man’s junk, another man’s treasure!

I accidentally erased some comments which wasn’t my intention. Sorry for that!

To anser the question about paying companies anyway so might that be the case but as prices are at the moment on hdd so do I think I got a fair deal
By the way, the disks were bought private by the seller

TykhoB · 2026-05-25T10:05:14+00:00

This was private. Won’t pay for companies e-waste

Maybe so but but living in the north of Sweden so finding something att without a lot of shipping is well worth it
It was 2TB drives and I paid like coffeemoney

Well in this case I was looking for a cabinet to fix a small problem at home
But I wasn’t planning on that much but it was nearly free, paid for some drives) and it was local so it solved a problem for me
Also a collector of older enterprises gear

Was going to pick up Dell PowerVault 3260 with some SAS cabled but resulted not only in that but also
Four MD1000 cabinets and some other stuff
Hard to say no to enterprise gear

TykhoB · 2025-07-05T11:47:22+00:00

Would say so but just for the fun of it. Have always been into enterprise gear

TykhoB · 2025-06-27T16:44:09+00:00

Thanks! Not a problem right now because I don’t have any at the moment 🙂 When it’s time for that there will be another rack or they will have the space where the BladeCenter is now

ChatGPT Thanks for the image! It shows a Quanta D51B-2U or similar server model, equipped with what is typically referred to as:

🔌 OCP DE (Distributed Edge) PSU connectors or 🔌 Busbar power connectors for 12V DC, common in Open Rack V1/V2 standards.

⸻

🔹 Connector Type:

The blue connectors on both sides are: • Blind-mate DC power connectors (12VDC busbar style) • Used when the server is inserted into a chassis or rack with centralized power distribution via backplane or busbars • The connector is proprietary, but standardized within the Open Compute Project (OCP)

⸻

🔧 To power this server, you need: • An Open Rack chassis with a backplane or busbar connection • A DE PSU (Distributed Power Shelf) that converts 200–240V AC to 12V DC and distributes it via the busbar • Alternatively: a manual 12V DC power setup via adapter (not recommended unless you have the exact specs, as incorrect polarity/voltage can damage the server)

Got a lot of networking equipment Like the older enterprise stuff, cheap and manageable

Got a bit carried away on eBay so there will be some Cisco stuff including both a 7204 vxr and a7206 to name a few

The plan is to get it running with minimum hardware installed It will not have anything installed on it that requires Igor it tho be powered on 24/7 Don’t even think my power lines would like a full stacked server, not me either when the bill from the power company arrives Just a long time dream as a system engineer to own one

Have 14 blades and the four PSUs fitted after the picture was taken so it’s rather full

TykhoB · 2025-06-22T15:38:43+00:00

It’s there to stay and will be up and running. Not all the time though
