1st Place: Server Room Nightmare Challenge

1st Place: Server Room Nightmare Challenge

Do you think your server room is a mess? Check out these pictures and see if you still think so. Bill Detwiler asked TR members to submit their photos of nightmare server rooms they’ve encountered. TechRepublic editors picked our top three, but it was hard!

We’ve put the winners at the top, but see them in their proper sets, which follow, with more detail and explanation on just what you’re seeing — and in some cases, not seeing.

TR member Luca claims the glory with this lovely scene. (Go to Image 46 to view his set.)

Now feel free to choose your own winners and enjoy the rest. We think you’ll get a kick out of them.

Remote office do-it-yourselfers

“We had an office in a remote location. No one from the IT group had been there for a site visit in almost 6 years (since the office was first brought online). Due to an extensive inventory we were running, it was necessary for someone to go, and I decided to do it myself.

An office with six users, 1 server, 1 router, 1 switch and 1 PBX, how bad could it be? As you can see, the answer to that question is “very”!! When a user asks, ‘Why can’t we just cable it ourselves,’ feel welcome to pull this one out to show them!!

Most of these pictures are messes that were inherited by admins. This is a “duct tape ramp” constructed by creative facilities personnel to direct the water from a dripping AC into a bucket in the server room.

Creative rack cooling solution

Creative rack cooling solution

“One of the companies I support on the side lost the A/C to their Server closet. The company is so cheap that they did not want to pay for weekend/Holiday emergency service to repair the A/C. The company is based in FL and this went down on July 4th weekend – you can only imagine how hot this room was.

They told me to “Cool it the best I can” so I went to all their offices and started gathering fans and placing them in the server room. You can see the 2 stand up fans one is on the floor cooling the bottom of the rack the other I had to pull out the KVM and put it on top of it to cool the top of the rack. Then I stacked some boxes on the floor including a LTO3 tape and pointed another fan at the Telco rack. I then turned the A/C down on the floor where the server room is located to 65 and set up fans all through the hallway and office to try and direct the A/C into the room.

I ended up taking all the doors and walls off the Rack in hopes it would cool down a bit more and then put the walls in the hallway to further direct the cold air. This actually did the trick, cooling the room to about 85. Still hot but it was at 104 when I got there. They ran their room like this for 4 days. I could not believe that nothing crashed and that everything worked fine. Beyond these issues as you can see the wiring in this place is a MESS!! I’ve offered numerous times to fix this and am always told no they don’t want to pay for it to look pretty. Wish I had a better photo of this but at the time I just took it as I thought it was priceless.”

“This is our server room. We’re a small company and we have only two IT people: me and my boss. It looks horrible, but it’s not hard to work with. Sometimes I get to climb behind all those wires to patch new cables in – that’s when it gets exciting.”

“We were laughing when we saw the picture you posted in server room nightmare challenge. If that was a?nightmare, I don’t know how to describe the server room when I joined this?company in 2007. From outside, looking in front of the racks, it may seem?normal (here), except for the fact that servers are fed to small UPS’s, which nobody can trace without the risk of turning something off. But when you?look at the back, ohhh boooyyy…”

“These photos show what greeted me the very first time I walked into the server room after agreeing to take things over.These are the servers. Note the KVM switch wiring and placement, the forgotten drink, and the fact that the servers are stacked on each other and have their hot air exhaust aimed at each other while that hot air is also being boxed in by the monitor.

In addition, this entire grouping of equipment was precariously balanced on a 5 foot long plastic table with folding legs. Wobbly to say the least. Please also note that while there is a dual 15 amp quad outlet mounted on the wall, he chose to plug all 5 servers and the monitor into a $3 non-surge-protected power strip running from one receptacle. No battery backup…”

“This is the patch panel, modem, 48-port switch, firewall/router, and PBX telephone equipment. The modem is the black box hanging by its own cables (next to the phone hanging by ITS own cables). The wiring and patch cords were a complete mess, and half of them were unplugged and hanging loose. Absolutely NOTHING was labeled in this room, including all the cables and servers. In the upper left corner you can see the power injection unit/network interface module for the roof-mounted wireless bridge that connected the satellite office across the street to our main network.”

“This is just around the corner from the last photo. It’s interesting to see that he DID have a backup battery on this side of the room, but here is what he had plugged in to that 750 VA UPS: (3) Panasonic PBX panels for the phone system and voicemail, (1) DSL modem, (1) 4 port firewall/router, (1) 48 port awitch, (1)”Music on hold” interface module, (1) PA paging module integrated with the phone system, (1) T1/PRI modem,(1) Wireless G bridge, (1) Building security alarm panel. Um, aside from the phone system, what point is there in having anything else in that list on UPS if the servers and computers don’t have UPS devices?!”
