 Welcome to the third installment of a little segment we call Holy Sh**t! And today, it really is a holy sh**t moment, isn't it? Because this right here, my friends, this is a battery......the size of a man. And this right here is all the other crap that goes with it. Oh yeah, and did I mention it cost us $17,000? Holy sh**t! INTRO TunnelBear is the easy to use VPN service that lets you use the web as though you are in one of 20 different countries.

So we'll kick things off with what the unboxing experience would be like for a $17,000......but my, okay, that's Canadian rupees mind you, but it's still a lot of money. A $17,000 battery backup. This is the PW12S12K-PD from Eaton. And it is part of their 9170 plus line of formerly known as Powerware Uninterruptible power supplies. This baby right here is a 12 unit chassis. You can actually fill those units with power modules or battery modules......depending on whether you want to supply more power to the items that you want to backup......or whether you want the runtime to be longer when the power goes out. So the one that we have is a 12 kilovolt amp unit capable of delivering about 10,000 watts of power......because we have filled it up with I believe it is four of their 3,000 kilovolt amp units......and we have filled the entire rest of this 12 day chassis with battery backups......allowing us to have this puppy run at full load for I think something to the tune of 26 or 28 minutes......under full freaking 10,000 watt load or at half load for about an hour......before it actually needs to engage the software mechanisms that it has to safely shut down all of our server components. You might be asking yourself, Linus, you guys had a bunch of UPS units. What the devil happened with all of those? Why are you getting an additional tower UPS to take their place? Well, we had some issues with the GE ones. They were refurb units, the batteries problem something, etc. Anyway, we're not using them anymore and Johnny Chu, our networking guru guy, recommended this. So we bit the bullet and went, you know what, with all the data loss scares we've had lately......and the issues that we've had with power outages in this area, we've had some serious storms......we are not going to screw around anymore. We're getting a proper, proper backup unit. And this, my friends, is what something like that might look like. Yeah, I think this is just, just the chassis. So it's actually bolted onto this pallet. No, it is not. It is not bolted onto the pallet, so we should be able to remove it fairly easily. But let's take a look at the rear of it first. Okay, so at the top we've got a serial port as well as a couple of bays for network modules......one of which we got so it'll be able to communicate over the network. Then we've got 12, and these each have their own 20 amp reset switches in them. So we've got 12 L1430R outlets. Then we move down into the freaking, like, heavy freaking duty stuff......and we've got three L630R outlets. So those are these three prong, twisty, locky ones right here. And finally we have three more of the L1430R quad prong outlets going on here. So these puppies are for, like, super high draw 240 volt equipment......that can leverage the efficiency of the higher voltage in order to, well, be more efficient. So you might find this in, like, very high-end server gear. We will mostly be using these guys. Okay, so the first thing Johnny the Network guy and I are gonna do is... Move, you bastard! Should we twist it? Twist it this way, yeah. I think we should twist it. Move! Okay, awesome! So this gives us a look at the front. So here's where the 12, like, bay module things go in. So you can actually see the interfaces at the back here. They have what look like, like, kind of smaller ATX power supply connectors on them. And then they have what looks like about a 24 or 26 pin, um, likely proprietary connector back here. And then a couple more little guys right here. So the cool thing about this modular system is you can actually put batteries or power modules anywhere you want......and then the back plane at the back sorts the whole thing out. You can daisy chain multiples of these together. However, I really don't think we're gonna need more than 10,000 watts in our server room, um, for the foreseeable future. Look at this user's guide! I mean, I don't blame them. I mean, this thing is not your simple plug into the wall and then hope these up, I guess it works just fine. In fact, with the 12,000 kilovolt amp unit that we've got, we had to wire up a completely separate 80 amp breaker......and then we have to hardwire this guy into that. If you want to get one of the bigger units, the 12 or the 15 kilovolt amp units, you actually need......here, check this out, or the 15 or the 18, you need a 100 amp or a 125 amp breaker. And then you have to have an electrician come in and wire the thing in. I don't even know what these do. Well, they make that noise, I guess. So here's some more accessories. These are, uh......doodads that go on here. Bah, bah, bah! That's not how they go on, so I probably shouldn't force the issue. That is how they go on. Some of you are probably wondering what the point of something like this is. And here, we'll walk and talk, we'll walk and talk, so I'll take this over to where it's going. The point of having a UPS unit that fully loaded is going to weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 to 700 pounds......is that it will not only......oof......act as a battery backup, but will also actually condition the power that is coming into our server room. So because this is an online double conversion UPS, all of our server gear will be running 100% of the time off of the batteries. And because it uses very, very high quality inverters, that isn't an issue like it would be with a consumer grade UPS. The other benefit of double conversion online UPSs is that in the event of a power outage, there is absolutely zero delay between......oh, wow, thanks, Johnny, we don't want to run over that network cable. Zero delay once the power goes out when it needs to, when a normal UPS like a cheapo consumer grade one would actually have to switch......between AC power and battery power, meaning that your equipment is never subjected to that kind of stress. Which leads us very well to where we're going to be installing it. So Harry Potter thought he was getting an upgrade to his closet when the contractors showed up, but it was all a lie. Harry Potter's closet is now this big. And we are actually going to be sealing the UPS into the now expanded server room. Which in addition to its four dedicated 15 amp circuits here, additional 15 amp circuit here also has......I believe this is a 100 amp circuit that we had wired in and that we're going to directly attach to the Eton UPS. And then it'll sit right here and plug into all of our gear, bippity bop, just like that. Cardboard is both a blessing and a curse. Nice and slow. Okay, cool. Now I got the weight. Go ahead and pull the card out. And that's pretty much that. Alright, let's check this baby out. So inside this second pallet that arrived today, we are going to find......our power units and our battery units as well as our, what is this, $350 like 100 megabit network card. What a scam. The freaking scam enterprise gear is. Well because it's proprietary and we decided that we're butt holes. Two skids. Oh, they didn't know you were going to be here, Dennis. They've only got me and Johnny covered. So how many power modules did we get? It was three, right Johnny? No, four. Four power modules. I feel like I work at like Fort Knox because I'm moving heavy stuff that costs way too much around. Whoa, that's heavy. Holy crap. Okay. Okay, I'll help steer. Hold on. Save the network cable. Oh, my foot. Okay, I'm okay. I'm fine. I'm good. Yeah, that's fine. That's good for the foot. Okay. This bastard needs to go in there, I guess. So let's just do that. You can just test mine. Well, we shouldn't load them first, right? We should put it in there first and then load them, right? Sure, yeah. Okay. Let's do this. Let's watch that height. Yeah. We're good. Yay, measuring tape. Go team, measure months, hope for the best. Okay, how we doing now? It's perfect. It's perfect. We're in. No big deal. Okay. So let's start loading up some modules, shall we? Boom. Whoa, okay. I broke a thing. That was quick. Oh, really? It's this clip. Oh, the clip. Where did it go? Right inside. Did you see it? I just heard it trickle down here. Oh, you got to be kidding me. Oh, it's right. It's like, what the hell? Oh, it's this part. Yeah. What the hell, Aiden? I don't even know how these side panels come off. They're like scaled over top of each other. I see it. I see it too. What the hell, Aiden? Oh, you got it. You got it? Yeah. Wow. Okay. All right. Let's do this. I'm like sweating. Yeah, you all right? I don't know if I'm sweating because it costs so much or because this is heavy. Sure. Oh, yeah. You take the cool stuff. I get to do the stupid batteries. So this feels like a handle. Oh, cool. Okay. I think I know I don't at all actually. What? Oh, yeah, I see it. Cool. So this, we should do batteries on the bottom, I guess, right? So the batteries plug into these puppies and then the power modules plug into the other stuff. What the heck? I can't tell if that's in or not. Oh, it seems to be in. Wow. Is that like a zero insertion force connector? That's cool. That'll make the hot swap really easy. So you can actually hot swap batteries and power modules at will, assuming that you have enough extra for the power modules that you're not just overloading the unit when you pull out all the power modules or whatever. So this is interesting. The cooling actually intakes at the back and then exhausts on this side over here. Oh, that's a good look at the guts of this baby here. That's some big copper coils and aluminum heat sinks they got going on in there. Not to mention, you know, the resistors and the, yeah, wow. So, oh, careful, Johnny. So that is pretty much it. We've got all the power modules loaded in, all the battery modules loaded in, and all that's left is back here. We're going to take three copper wires from our panel, put them into the back of the unit, plug some extension cords into our servers and bippity boppity boom. We are ready to rock with our massive 1000 watt battery backup. And on a totally unrelated note, Massdrop. And this is pretty cool. They've got the K7XX Limited Edition Ruby Red Headphones in addition to all the other cool stuff over at Massdrop.com, which by the way you can check out at the link in the video description. This particular drop though, and it's the same usual concept, the more people buy, the better the price. This is a limited edition of the K7X headphones that I actually reviewed here. The only real difference is that this run uses red accents on the earcups and the headband. Please note, this is a limited drop with only 1500 units, so if you want a pair, you're going to want to act pretty fast. In terms of spec, it was configured by Massdrop and manufactured by AKG. These are open-backed headphones with very, very large cushiony earcups. They've got a flat wire voice coil, very motioned two-layer diaphragm, genuine leather headband. Actually, that's really nice. Memory foam earpads with velour covering. They weigh 8.3 ounces. Okay, there's an awful lot of specs in my notes here, many of which are not terribly important. Two-year warranty covered by Massdrop. And if you're ordering from outside the US, you can still get it, but please note that the distribution will be handled through a third party, so a $25 fee will be assessed to all international orders. So if you want to check this out and get yourself the Ruby Red pair of K7XXs, just head over to draw.s-ltt-k7xx to see that and all the other awesome stuff that they have on Massdrop.
