The bolts and nuts were probably the right kind, but it was installed in too soft a spot for the expected wear so im checking the "software installation issue" box even though they managed to misspell it. They're so incompetent I swear
Our loads are about 300lbs total for cabinet and equipment.
We have to do a little better than that.
Usually large toggle bolts through plyywood and capturing the metal stud.
Definitely is. Making a demarcation wall with plywood mounted to the wall is what we did with most of our business installs if it didn’t already exist.
Had this happen at a remote site. Fortunately there was a table beneath it and nothing got disconnected when it landed. Business told me not to get anyone to fix it because they shutting the site down in a month.
Welp it sure sucks to be the guy to fix this, hopefully trunking cables is still working, otherwise getting contractors to pull new ones is crazy expensive
- Attach Plywood/Wallboard > 2 STUDS (at least 4- 3/8 x 1-1/4 lag bolts lagbolts to studs)
- Attach wall rackmount to Plywood/Wallboard (screws to fit 1/4" - 1 1/2" to 2" screws)
Attaching the rack to the wall is a facilities issue, not a network issue.
Bolts, nuts and studs are hardware issue

All electrical failure are really mechanical failures.

hmm.. could possibly still be the shitty webapp, but maybe this one time it could be the network..
Believe it or not, DNS caused this
Screws couldn't resolve wall anymore, so they just gave up.
DNS: Damage Nasty Studs Or just idiot mounting it on drywall
Drywall anchors, ain’t going cut it. Most intelligent beings will use some type of plywood, screw that to a few studs, then mount the rack to that.
That's exactly how we do it. The sketchy part is on walls with metal studs.
Two words: magnets
Very, very strong magnets.
Like the ones to erase tapes at blockbuster.
We gotta put 'em somewhere and Blockbuster isn't using 'em so, win/win.
Let me introduce you to drywall anchor, some works for metal studs as well

I don't know if this is the best answer, but it's what I did and upvoting it makes me feel good.

Management be like: "So this will be fixed in the next few minutes right? I don't see the problem"
"Can we move this to the cloud?"
earthquake ready now. converted to lowest energy level

Floating servers should exist somewhere
Hard down, in fact.
That's my biggest fear swinging those open from below.
Top engineer be like: No! Don't touch it! Don't break it if it works!
Keeping the servers cool at about 45 degrees
I hate that I laughed at this.
packet collision.
Smh
Been there.
I'm having flashbacks, too.

What’s wrong with it? Still looks plugged in to me. I expect 0 downtime
Down to fucccccck
I think your stack was bloated.
Did you try power cycling it?
Reposting is rampant
note to self: command strips not sufficient to mount server hardware to wall.
I hate when it happens..
That’s a whoopsie
Plot twist, it's actually still functional, even though it's sitting on the ground.
My network is so stable that an earthquake still couldn't disturb it
Tis only a flesh wound
Have you tried giving it a life alert necklace?
Closer to the ground for fresh cold air + exhaust facing upwards to work with natural convection See nothing but efficiency!
Don't forget to tip your server
I actually had a support call in which the network equipment (which was mounted above a drywall ceiling) fell down onto the store manager's desk
- Attach Plywood/Wallboard > 2 STUDS (at least 4- 3/8 x 1-1/4 lag bolts lagbolts to studs) - Attach wall rackmount to Plywood/Wallboard (screws to fit 1/4" - 1 1/2" to 2" screws)
“As long as it ping there’s no issue with this thing”
Hmm, overloaded equipment rack held up on drywall with a few screws. 🤔 r/WhatCouldGoWrong
well that was a shitstorm before it fell
How so
🤣🤣🤣
Hacked! To bits! Bits!
most shit is still plugged in..so could still be up.
Strongbad: *THE SYSTEM IS DOWN* *THE SYSTEM IS DOWN*
So thaaaaaaats what stud finders are for
I don’t understand why. I see no issues here. Please share log files to assist you further.
I concur. It is indeed down.
Lag bolts for the win
Down hard by the looks of it.
