I work for a company where IT does the rack/stack as well as all of the configuration. Some companies have several smaller teams. While I wish that was the case when my fingers hurt from all this building, it is worth it in the long run...knowing how it all works and is put together.
Enjoy! |

It's always fun finding out that the outlets for the rack are directly beneath the rack and out of reach. That, and cable organization/runs are the most difficult parts of a general install I'd say. |
