July 2011
Equipment shopping list:
- DigiKey
- 17 PandaBoards
- 15 power leads/barrel connectors
- Everything on the motion sensor parts list
- Canada Computers
- 17 8GB SD cards
- McMaster-Carr
- 4 stainless steel threaded rods - #4-40 x 24"
- 2 packs of 6 acorn nuts - #4-40 stainless steel
- 1 pack of 1.25" nylon spacers
Also needed but not yet sourced:
- Network cables (recommend Tiger Direct or Canada Computers)
Questions:
- Do we need another switch?
- Should we use the existing ATX power supply for both stacks, or buy a separate one for the new stack?
- What colours of cables should we use? Buy 5' again?
- Our existing numbering scheme is running out of numbers. Should we switch to groups of 10 machines? (i.e., cdot-guru-5-{0..9}?) Or change the way we map unit numbers to IP addresses?
- Do we need anything else? How about...
- The UPS -- does it have capacity for the additional builders? If Australia and Ireland are carrying part of the workload, does that shelving unit need a UPS too? Which model should we order?
- NICs? We need to replace the one we swiped from Rome, should we add a 2nd one to Ireland too? (If we move the DB somewhere, that would be the ideal spot)
- Disks?
- RAM?
- Flyswatter (Jtag for PandaBoards, to help pinpoint why they crash)?
- Backup drives?
- ???
Note: hex nuts, 0.25" nylon spacers, and heat-shrink tubing are left over from first PandaStack
