RE: Server Cabinet
This may be a silly question but.. How did it get in there? -- Leigh Porter -Original Message- From: Robert Lusby [mailto:nano...@gmail.com] Sent: Wed 5/4/2011 9:43 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: OT: Server Cabinet Sorry to start the day OT, but I'm sure you lovely lot will have some tips/experience! ;) We have a HP Server Cabinet (42U 10842 G2), that we've stripped down to the bare-bones chassis. It now measures 750mm wide. We have a door-way that said server cabinet must fit through, measuring up at 620mm. The cabinet chassis is welded at all four corners, so can't be taken apart any more without being cut. Can you see where this is leading yet? Three obvious questions: 1) Have you ever had to fit a cabinet through a doorway that's too small? 2) How did you do it? Cut cabinet, demolish wall ...? 3) If you cut the cabinet, any tips? Thanks.

I'm assuming that it's not yet in there :-) I'd probably knock the wall down and fit a more reasonably sized door - 620mm (2') seems a bit narrow for a door anyway. One could of course get a 600mm wide rack instead ... Regards, James
Re: Server Cabinet
I've removed the doorframe before, and usually replaced with a wider doorframe later. -Bill On May 4, 2011, at 11:07, James Aldridge j...@mcvax.org wrote: On 04/05/2011 10:53, Leigh Porter wrote: This may be a silly question but..

This is gotta be cheaper than knocking down, dust abatement and rebuilding a wall. I am not big on cutting the rack unless you know a ME and a really good welder and that may still not be cheaper than sell and buy new. Tom
