IMAGE_065 The view from outside the back door of ANCL.	IMAGE_066 This is the area where we’re going to install the condensers	IMG_3380 This is the room after we destroyed the wall, painted and tiled. This was all done The SOEST Physical Plant folks
IMG_3381 Before we really got going, we had a blank wall.	IMG_3382 Our internet comes in via copper gbe connections from the campus IT group	IMG_3383 The 350amp 3phase power feed coming in.
IMG_3384 Before we had some ladders just dropped on top of the racks	IMG_3385 The vent that leads to the utility gallery from the data center	IMAGE_070 This is where the condensers will go
IMAGE_071 Hmmm…it works but it isn’t pretty…yet….	IMAGE_072 Before….mismatched racks, no cable mgmt, not someplace we’d show off	IMAGE_073 We’re getting there…the SOEST IT group (aka Research Computing Facility) Has had to make do with what they could afford
IMAGE_075 This is the utility gallery that runs the height of the building and Behind all the rooms…	IMAGE_076 More of the utility gallery that has also become a catch all for stuff…	IMAGE_078 The Universal Electric StarLine power feeds that take the power in and Distribute it across the bus bars
IMAGE_079 The PPSF (aka the SOEST physical plant guys) figuring out how to Mount the StarLine bus bars	IMAGE_081 Ross Ishida inspecting the power box taps for the StarLine system	IMAGE_085 After we found out about the floor loading issues, this is the only cluster we’re allowed to keep in the room. It’s sitting right over a support beam.
IMAGE_086 Definitely before..it works, the SOEST IT group can find everything, but it just isn’t pretty.	IMAGE_087 So what…plywood works just fine…	IMG_3386 When we lost out on cable management, our physical plant guys fabricated cable ladders for us…hmmm, these actually look pretty nice and were a heck of a lot cheaper than commercial models.
IMG_3387 These are the four duplex boxes that also have breakers mounted in them. The StarlLine boxes are inserted and twisted 90 degress to make a firm and safe connection into the three phase power bus.	IMG_3388 The guts of the StaeLine feeder boxes.	IMG_3389 This is the fingers that join the sections of the bus bar together. Simply insert and push into the track with a special tool. (included)
IMG_3390 We had to separate the PDU from the batteries so get the heavy battery rack over a support beam.	IMG_3391 It’s getting there…it all started feeling real when the ladder racks fabricated by the physical plant guys went into the room.	IMG_3392 That’s the flex conduit that’s feeding 200amps right now and 350amps when we go to the full 80kwatts on the APC InfrastruXure.
IMG_3393: another view of the main 3phase feed into the UPS	IMAGE_093: the physical plant electrician placing the feed to the bus bars	IMAGE_094 This is the metered version of the StarLine feeder box
