Headlamp

Rack screws
Zip ties

Sharpie markers
Pens
Notebook of shirt pocket size with pages that can be easily torn out for

Post-It
Assortment of electrical tape in various colors.
SFPs (optical and RJ-45, short and long range)
USB stick (sans viruses)
Patch cords 1, 3, 5 meter. Copper, multi-mode, single-mode fiber
USB to DB9 dongle (with driver on USB stick or one the computer can discover on
the Internet)
Standard charger of sort used for most smart phones these days or the proper
USB cable (micro USB)
The vending machine should use a card like an ATM/gift card, not accept cash.
You should be able to "charge" the card with some cash via a web portal and
keep the card in the facility in your space. If something is needed, one can
purchase it with the card. If there is no money on the card, a person can add
cash to the card via a web portal somewhere. Scenario: remote hands guy
arrives on site, needs an SFP, card doesn't have enough money on it, calls me,
I can add the cash to the card, he can purchase the SFP and leave the card in
the space for the next time it is needed.

IBM S/360 definitely preferred hex. And EBCDIC.

I know I'm being a freaking idealist.
My tool bag carries all my required sets of screws and cage nuts. Works
great until the first level guy decides to borrow something and not put
it back.
Thanks,
Erik

they do? nonono, you have to buy those seperately :P
racks don't even come with "doors" and "side walls" etc by default
*grin*
you have to buy them seperately anyway if you want to make sure your
company uses all the same ones, so you don't have to take them out again
and replace them because some fukkin idiot put the wrong size into the
hole as it "came with something else"

couplers so one can mix-and-match
2. Velcro wraps.
3. cage nuts/bolts

USB A/B/Mini/Micro/Nano/Pico/etc/etc/etc cables
Spare parts (common sizes of RAM/Disks/Fans)
New servers (probably don't fit in a vending machine, but in that dark place
where you need a new box *TONIGHT*, this could be a godsend)
Generically sized hoodie or sweatshirt. Datacenters can get really cold if
you're in there longer than expected.
Advil/Ibuprofen/Generic OTC Pain Reliever
Cisco Console Cables
Outside of a vending machine, I've also seen a few facilities that have normal
vending machines (including instant coffee dispensers). This has, on more than
one occasion, kept me standing long enough to get the jorb done.

if a pop doesn't come with a hotel with a bar in front of the door,
or at least around the corner, and preferably free beer, coffee, etc in
the cantina as well, we're not a customer of theirs haha.
headace tables are good..
but then again, with noise protectors you would not get the headace in the
first place :P
and a buttwarmer to sit on the floor (or maybe even a chair!)

or you just use your datacenter access rfid pass to pay and they put it on
the bill later on.

Serial cables, DB9 -> USB converts and all of the various vendor adapters to
make it work.
WTSHTF I'm always digging through my gear looking for the right serial adapter.
Duct tape, paper clips and chewing gum. If it was good enough for McGyver it
is good enough for me.
