Explosion at a Spaghetti Factory!!

Another challenge for Barry!

This Videx Century One intercom system has been in for many years, installed by others, we might add. Now we have to make some modifications to meet the client’s new requirements.

As the tech support engineer at Videx said, “good luck with that” when he saw the photograph. This is one of those classic poke and hope scenarios, where you endeavour not to make it worse as soon as you touch it.

We are happy to report that all is now working,  but unfortunately, we have not been instructed to sort the mess out properly, so  let’s hope it continues to work.

Argh! My eyes!

I see a lot of server cabinets and I see a lot of badly thrown together server cabinets but this one is bad on so many levels.

Firstly, the patch panel is in upside down and right at the bottom of the cabinet. It’s only just accessible. We can only think that it’s so low down so you can’t see it and it’s a tangled web of wires.

Although not a sin the wiring is all different colours and different lengths and when I opened the cabinet door they all fell out.

 

There is a shelf in there as well it’s just underneath everything and needs fixing in.

Our client has asked us to tidy this up next time we’re there so watch this space.

Horror Story

When confronted by this one, the engineer was actually too scared to put his hand in for fear of creating more faults!

Solid drawn BT cable is notorious for snapping very easily, the slightest movement could cause chaos.

Strong drink required before tackling this!! 😊
