Fuller a24 Rack Cabinet 2

Cabinet 2 contains for the most part Assistment and research machines. Anothre notable machine is CSMAIL, which receives the department's “@cs.wpi.edu” email and runs the departments IMAP mail server.

All the networking in Cabinet 2 comes from cables strung through the back of the cabinet and into Cabinet 3, which contains an expensive switch on loan from Network Operations. We are trying to get more switches so that each cabinet will have its own switch. This is still in negotiations as of 25 September 2011.

Console Access to the machines in cabinet 2 is via the AdderView unit adder1.cs.wpi.edu, which is accessible via WWW and VNC.

Power Access is via a pair of APC PDU units, cspower1.cs.wpi.edu and cspower4.cs.wpi.edu Which machines are plugged in where is listed immediately below on this page. The procedure for power-cycling a machine attached to a PDU is given here.

The two APCRPC117 units at Rack2-U01/02 and Rack2-U05/06 were both replaced with new
units on 24 May 2021 (see above for serial numbers).  The former APCRBC117's were apparently
installed on 25 September 2018, so it seems unlikely that they are dead.  They should be kept
and not recycled. --mcv 20210524.

Batteries for the 1-battery X3000 units are part number APCRBC117.  Each X3000 has a 2-battery
add-on unit, which takes two APCRBC118s, which have a power connector at the REAR of the
battery, and not at the front.  To entirely replace all the batteries in ONE of the two UPS
units serving this cabinet, you will need to purchase one RBC117 and two RBC118s.
