HP rack building experience

Yesterday I had a nice experience of building the HP rack. I used to build custom racks with different hardware inside before and I would say it is not a very easy task. This is not to said about HP racks, especially when all the hardware to be in the rack is from HP as well. Actually, I didn\’t need to use a screw driver a lot, only in certain places (like removing the cover from the server to convert it from tower to rack mountable). Everything is fixed with locks, but not screws, everything matches the place perfectly. I really enjoyed the experience.

The only problem was faced is that I didn\’t have a conversion kits for old ML350 servers (G2 and T01) so I had to drill the wholes in the part of the rails of the conversion kit for G4 to be able to attach them to the old machines. I am glad that HP guys haven\’t seen me when I was drilling the rails (they would cry). I had no other choice, sorry guys :)
