New "Blazer" Page

I've decided to copy all my posts on the Blazer into a new page and then put all updates on the Blazer in that page.

-20°F this morning. High today is supposed to be about 10°F, low tonight about 7°F, high tomorrow about 25°F. Maybe I can get some outside work done tomorrow.

Gas is STILL at 1.899. Hard to believe it has been stable for this long.

Gotta run to a meeting. When the electrician arrived to hook up the two new racks we made a discovery: Although the spec sheets we got from the vendors say each rack should draw about 35-40 amps, the UPS packages in the racks are rated at 100 amps. At 40 amps each rack plus the existing servers we would have maxed out our 100 amp panel. Under normal circumstances the racks may only draw 40 amps, but we can't wire for that, we need to wire for max load. If we do not then we will for sure blow the main breaker and take down the entire server farm the first time we attempt to draw full load. So, we need to add two new 100 amp panels. In the next two working days. Not likely, the electrician needs to order the panels. So, it looks like we will need to re-schedule Tuesdays planned arrival of the GE and EMC and Quantum implementation teams.
