New Skynet Boxen
by David Dolphin on Feb.27, 2007, under Skynet
Skynet recently purchased some new kitt (no pun intended) in the form of 3 dual-core Opterons with 2Gigs of RAM each (gir, caro and skynet) and a Pentium D with a Gig of RAM (kitt).
I helped physically install some of the boxes, and I must say, the Rails shipped with the Opterons were unbelievably easy to install. Dell call them “Sliding Combination Rapid/Versa Rail with CMA” and if you can get your hands on some I would thoroughly recommend it.
I took some low quality photos of the servers just after they were installed. Hopefully someone will shoot some better shots at some stage. The photos can be found here and here.
