Overtime

The Electricians are done. There's a new 30-amp twist-lock receptacle next to the Hi-Cap rack downstairs and upstairs the Avaya equipment is bolted down solidly to the concrete floor below the raised flooring.

Meanwhile I was festering over the placement of the backboards. The east wall holds the house cables and the floor cables and the cables to and from the ISDN NIUs. But it was full. I considered placing the boards on the south wall, seeing as there is no immediate plan to run any jumpers to the house or floor cables. but..... things change. I want to be flexible.

Sitting, staring at the backboard. The power supplies for the ISDN sets are mounted on the east wall. The ISDN will be retired once the Avaya is on-line. The power supplies will be sht down and removed, along with their cross-connect blocks and the blocks with the cables to and from the NIUs.

So I clip the wrap-ties holding the wires to the wall and gently (as in it is working equpiment) two of the power supplies to the floor. Clearing space on the east wall for two full purple boards for the Avaya people, and a pair of half blue boards for my cables to the patch jacks that will be connected to the cat-5 floor cables.
