So after over 3 months I've managed to get a little work done on the server. Running new power to the server closet became a stumbling block for a few reasons, mostly that I needed to do things the "right way" (by installing either a terminal box or a plug) and that I would have to run cable in the crawl space. And I've been entirely in my head and unmotivated by... ::gestures around again::
I found some time to work on things recently when I'm not paralyzed by existential dread. About a month ago I wired and installed a plug, and then that sat until today when I finally wired in the new service, ran the cabling, and transferred everything from the old extension cord/powerstrip and into the UPS. And...it worked. I'm really glad it worked because I was NOT feeling doing anything else because it is so hot I start pouring sweat if I'm not sitting still in air conditioning being blasted in the face with a fan.
After I cool off for a bit, I might get into server assembly, but my energy is only going to last so long.
