Christmas has come - the goodies purchased with end of year money are coming in thick and fast. So far on the list we have:
- XServe RAID cache battery modules
- A 7th 750GB XServe RAID drive
- 20x 512MB SODIMMS for laptops
- A network management card for a UPS
- A laptop
- 4x 120GB laptop hard drives
The laptop is a new network monitoring station to replace a 7 year old Dell laptop that crawls. However, after filling out my Windows XP user information, it restarted to a "disk read error", so it's killed itself. It also blue screens when loading off a generic XP install disk. What a load of rubbish.
Cache batteries are so we don't loose a a potential 1GB of staff data if the UPS it's connected to cocks up (why weren't these purchased when the unit was new?!)
Tomorrow, ahead of schedule by about 2 weeks, we'll take delivery of 30 new MacBooks. I have no idea where we're going to store these at all. They will probably come when I'm in 1 of 2 meetings I have tomorrow - one about a core network upgrade to 1Gb switches, one about a wireless install.
