    Network Advice (again)

    Hey All,

    Yup me again with some more network questions

    I have got myself a cisco switch (managed) i think it is a 2950 but i think i am wrong their could be a different model anyway anyone got any tips on configuring this?

    I also have a dell precision T3400 i want to rack mount this does anyone know if this is possible? I have seen HP towers in a rack before (at work) if not could the contents of the T3400 be moved to a rackmount server chassis?

    UPS does anyone know of a good Rack UPS?

    Lastly does anyone have any links for cat5 faceplaces, patch panels & cat5 cables?

    That is all i have for now
    Thanks all
    Rich

    Using the KISS principle why not just go for a fixed or sliding shelf?

    Re: Network Advice (again)

    I order all my face plates and cabling supplies from Ebay, I have had no problems. I would not recommend trying to replace the chassis on a server, it can get very complicated and I would just use a rack shelve as "Myocardial" stated.
