Equipment shopping list:
- DigiKey
- 17 PandaBoards
- 15 power leads/barrel connectors
- Everything on the motion sensor parts list
- Canada Computers
- 27 8GB SD cards
- 20* 6feet Ethernet Cables (RJ45 Straight Through)
- Tigerdirect
- 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?
- ???
Suggestions:
- Fast Ethernet/ Gigabit switch for new pandas .There is not enough room/ 17ports in existing ones.
- Power Supply: we have the power connectors (but will have to cut them from unused connectors) for power supply. We have capacity in existing supply for new hardware.
- UPS: In terms of free sockets on unit and enough power backup, we have it(battery backed up/4 and surged protected only/2) but good to have new one.
- We also have to make room for new network switch on rack and will have to move some builders.
- Good to have more removable drives (for backups ). We have 2 for now and each is being used almost 20% but mnt/koji is also growing too fast.
- Good to have USB3 support on Hongkong.
- 10 additional SD cards to replace old ones.
Note: hex nuts, 0.25" nylon spacers, and heat-shrink tubing are left over from first PandaStack
