Rack with File Server
I finally finished setting up the network rack in our unfinished basement. The patch panel on top connects to different rooms of the house. Next is a small 8 port gigabit Netgear switch, right above the Cisco ASA 5505 router, and a 24 port 100 megabit switch for overflow ports.
The file server is running Linux, and you can find out more about the hardware in my write-up here (www.starcoder.com/wordpress/?p=242). There's a power (green) light and an access (blue) light for each drive. When I need more space, I can just pop a few more disks in and add them to the LVM storage pool.
The wires running off to the left go to a wireless AP and the cable modem, which are sitting on a shelf next to the rack. The cluster of wires running up the top of the frame head out to the rest of the house.
