Fired up the T1000 tonight

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

and boy, is it LOUD. Not just loud, but uncomfortably loud.

My wife is still asleep in bed, so I shut it down before the extended POST finished - so I don’t have any idea yet if it quiets down after boot (like a SB1K does).

I’m going to have to setup a stand for it in my closet and run power and ethernet under the door, it looks like. Leaving it on my desk in the “lab” is right out at this point. They should include earplugs in the country kit (which they forgot with my system - but that just means a power cord, and I’ve got plenty of those around).

Sun T1000 Arrived

Wednesday, May 3rd, 2006

My Sun T1000 server arrived today. I’ll be doing a review of it for the next month and a half, and after that will be migrating it in as the new SunHELP server.
