Last night’s big project was installing a new wireless AP in Origins Cafe.  The AP is a Proxim AP4000, which I’ve had in the box for a few weeks and never had a chance to install, mainly because there was other stuff that needed to get done.

The hardest thing about this project was getting the new cable pulled to the pillar that the AP is mounted on.  Fortunately, our A/V engineers spec’d the building with an abundance of extra conduit during the planning stages.  One of those conduits just happens to go from this pillar straight to one of the IDFs.  NICE!

The second project of the night was getting our backup server’s RAID chassis mounted into the server rack.  It’s been sitting on-end atop the server UPS for some time now, and with a tape library coming down the pipe, this needed to be done soon anyway.

Just for the sake of mention… that whitebox below the chassis is our backup server.  After wrestling with a rack-mounted shelf (which fell apart as soon as I removed it from the rack….grrr), I am most-likely going to be ordering a rack-mount case to transplant the backup server’s hardware into.

Aside from being exhausted this morning (I didn’t sleep good at all last night for some reason), it felt like a productive night, and I like those. ;-)  Hopefully the rest of the week turns out the same.
