Replacing Server
[ Friday November 16th 2018 at 12:30 pm ]
The unexpected has happened. In the mail this morning I received a parcel: The replacement power supply for my server. The bearings in the cooling fan are burning out. It is the same idea as a vehicle. The server is making an almighty squeal. Best practice is to replace the power supply.
When I first powered up the server after replacing the power supply I could smell smoke coming from it. It is obvious a power surge had occurred. It wrecked the server. Getting a new server online as fast as possible is now my top priority. I have the replacement server here. I planned to work on this in the new year. However this is now urgent and will consume my functional hours during the coming weeks. In the bigger picture this is fantastic. But I really hate starting something else without completing my existing projects.
