welcome to the third installment of a little segment we call holy Sh and today it really is a holy 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 Oh Tunnel Bear is the easy-to-use VPN service that lets you use the web as though you are in one of the 20 different countries learn more and try total bear for free at the link in the video description so we'll kick things off with what the unboxing experience would be like for a $17,000 my okay that's Canadian rupees mind you but it's still a lot of money a $17,000 battery backup this is the PW 12 s 12 K - PD from Eaton and it is part of their ninety 170 plus line of formerly known as power where uninterruptible power supplies this baby right here is a 12 unit chassis and 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 kilo volt 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 three thousand kilovolt amp units and then we have filled the entire rest of this 12 12 a 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 - you guys had one - 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 at cetera etc anyway we're not using them anymore and Johnny - 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 l 14 30 are outlets men we move down into the freaking like heavy freaking duty stuff and we've got three L six thirty are outlets so those are these three prong twisty locky ones right here and finally we have three more of the L 1430 our quad 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 here we would 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 we should twist it okay awesome so this gives us a look at the front so here's where the 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 26 pin 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 backplane at the back sorts the whole thing out you can actually even daisy chain multiples of these together however I really don't think we're going to need more than 10,000 watts in our server room for the foreseeable future 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 you don't I guess it works just fine in fact with the 12000 kilovolt ampere unit that we've got we've had to wire up a completely separate ad 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 kilo volt amp units you actually need here check this out or the other 15 or the 18 you need a 100 amp or 125 amp breaker and then you have to have an electrician come in and wire this thing in with these be well we make that news of this so here's some more accessories these are doodads that go in here 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 well the walk and talk walk and talk so I'll take this over to where it's going so the point of having a UPS unit that fully loaded is going to wait way somewhere in the neighborhood of 600 to 700 pounds is that it will not only act as a battery backup but will also actually condition the power that is coming into our server rooms 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 on line ups is is that in the event of a power outage there is absolutely zero delay between oh wow thanks Johnny we don't wanna run over that network cable there is zero delay once the power goes out when it needs to when a normal UPS like a chief o 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 kidding yeah upgrade to his closet when the contractor 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 we're going to directly attach to the tune 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 listen slow ok 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 it was is a 350 dollar like 100 megabit network card what a scam the freaking scan enterprise gear is wool the clothes was proprietary and we decided that were buttholes whew skids out I didn't know you were gonna be here Dennison I've only gotten me and Johnny covered so how many power modules did we get it was free right Johnny no four four four power modules feel like I work at like Fort Knox because I'm moving heavy stuff that costs way too much or whoa that's heavy holy crap okay okay I'll help steer hold on so I broke a wall oh 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 well we shouldn't load them first right we should put it in there first and then load them right sure okay let's do this let's watch that height yeah we're good yeah a measuring tape go T measure months hope for the best okay how are we doing now we're in no big deal okay so let's start loading up some modules shall we ooh whoa okay I broke a thing that was quick oh really it's this clip why did it go inside did you see her to trickle down here oh you got to be kidding me oh it's right it's like what the hell yeah what the hell Eitan I don't even know how these side panels come off there like scaled over top of each other here I see it too what the hell eat you got it Wow okay all right let's do this I'm like sweating I don't know if I'm sweating because it cost 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 set what the heck I can't tell content enough Oh seems to be a mile is that like a zero insertion force connector that's cool that'll make the hot swap really easy so you can actually actually hot swap batteries and power modules at will assuming that you have enough 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 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 then 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-boo we are ready to rock with our massive 1000 watt battery back up and on a totally unrelated note mass drop and this is pretty cool they've got the k7 xx limited edition ruby-red headphones in addition to all the other cool stuff over at mass drop comm 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 k 7x headphones that I actually reviewed here the only real difference is that this run uses red accents on the ear cups 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 mass drop and manufactured by AKG these are open backed headphones with very very large cushiony ear cups they've got a flat wire voice coil very motion to layer diaphragm genuine leather headband actually that's really nice memory foam ear pads with velour covering of the way eight point three ounces okay there's an awful lot of specs in my notes here many of which are not terribly important to your warranty covered by mass drop and if you're ordering from outside the US you can still get it but please note that your distribution will be handled through a third party so a twenty five dollar fee will be assessed to all international orders so if you want to check this out and get yourself the ruby-red pair of k7 xx's just head over to draw ups /lt TK 7 xx to see that and all the other awesome stuff that they have on mass drop so thanks for checking out this episode of holy SH on - tech tips if you disliked it press the dislike button but if you liked it
