well Finding one locally that 100% will work is a no go. so I opted for this http://www.amazon.com/WS-POE-8-24v60w-Ethernet-Injector-Ubiquiti-Mikrotik/dp/B007TQAZGM and he will have to wait till tomorrow. worst comes to worse, I have one unifi access point at work hat i can take the PoE adapter from and then they have on ubiquit access point at the house already so that gives me 2 to work with and I have the router that I purchased so worst comes to worst so that I can get some of his stuff working is set the router up using its wifi then set up 2 accesspoints at the furthest points or closest to what needs connectivity. then when I get the PoE injector set the rest up .

ok looking at this ubiquit switch its a 24v 60w - http://www.neweggbusiness.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9B-0XP-000A-00002&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleBiz-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleBiz-PC-_-pla-_-Network+-+Switches-_-9B-0XP-000A-00002&gclid=CjwKEAjw3qu5BRC-0uCw8O6Y5zcSJAA_WtdLijB9OriY1QIKB7t2-SoIByDnrHqcBCOTJm_yymZ3rBoC2p3w_wcB it only puts out 11.5 watts per port http://www.frys.com/product/6686404?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG this has the same 24v but 68w and can deliver upto 30Watts per port again I am assuming that this should deliver enough power @Windspeed36 maybe you can help since you sell this all the time

"the first four ports support the IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+ protocols. Each of these four ports can supply up to 30 W for a total PoE budget of 68 W," http://www.frys.com/product/6686404?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

agreed but what makes the ones you sent me work and not the one I posted. I need to know what to look for so I can find one locally. is it the Watts per port? amps? total voltage?

ok thanks. but like I said I need something local. So basically I need a higher watt per port. they all seem to be 24v but vary watts. the manual says it needs a "24v .5A Poe " I really hat eelectricity

nope its just a box with the AP's and mounts . I got the AP AC LR would something like this work? http://www.frys.com/product/8170185?source=google&gclid=CjwKEAjw3qu5BRC-0uCw8O6Y5zcSJAA_WtdLVaFKkxPREha-uMTeEdM1YBgAnz99sobarZQkNx-g-BoCYePw_wcB I got to find something local I can go get.

SHIT ! damn I did not think about this 5 pack of AP's not coming with PoE injectors. should I jsut buy a small PoE switch for the ap's? edit: It clearly says they do not , I over looked this when I sent it .

so I got the stuff I ordered f. heres a pic i figured that I can set most of the network up here, then just take it to the house and plug it in make sure it works

Yea unfortunately I have not been able to fully take advantage of Vmotion, due to the severly crappy networking. When I started I couldnt use it due to not being a GB connection only a 10/100 , OMG and using Vcenter converter was a pain converting large machines. some took about 36 hours to converter although I did this over a weekend so minimal data loss occured. But now I have recently got a Gb cisco switch and this week have got it configured with the correct vlans to have all the servers plugged into it, althgouh I havent gone thru and plugged in all the servers to it. This is my plan for next week.... I am more apprehensive about those damn cables I have already had a few problems trying to get all the cables that were not plugged into anything snagging a cable and unplgging a live switch in the middle of the day, lol that was fun stuff.

shared storage? I am using iSCSi to attach the drives to the ESXi host. each of the drives are actually on a RAID 10 then I create the iscsi extent and I can attach the drive to any host. the ESXi host have no drives themselves. ^fart better plan.. made me laugh. I am planning on using Veeam to backup the VM's then I plan on rsyncing those files to the other nas , so this way each nas has a copy of every VM . if I loose one NAS i have a copy of all VM's, then I have to figure out a Off site Solution, or WAN is a pretty shitty connection and some of the VMs are quiet large.

YEa I bought some cat 6 cable and have been doing jsut that, measuring what needs to go where and make perfect cable lengths with a lil bit of slack.

yup exactly. I thought about getting just the Essentials, because I dont plan on having to Move Vms much so Vmotion wasnt to important(although I guess would be handy), VMreplication would be nice but I plan on using Veeam to perform the backups of Virtual Machines. Never the less , $5k for the licenses allows me to add that third machine without having to buy any new licenses.

those are nice. I dont know if Ill have room with the Dell R710's but with the NAS' they should work I used a NORCO RPC- 20 bay case. as of now any new cables I run I run them down the inside of the server rack (down like the middle of the L shape) with velcro straps so I dont get them tangled with the existing cables. I have also been looking at getting some outside help, whether its hiring a person or hiring a thrid party company. as it stands I have only spent around $10k on this upgrade (including Esxi Licenses, not including Windows licenses(havent bought them yet)), but I am reluctant because I feel I can do it all myself it jsut a matter of how much I want to kill myself.

in the first picture , this is all the switches and cables going out to the work stations, the racks do have some cable management routes(not sure really what to call them) although they are not being used very well. the second picture is of the server racks , these do not have any cable management of any sort, 1) I am waiting till I have all the hardware situtated, Since I am going with Esxi host, I will have 3 and 3 Nas' so the cable management should be easy if this is all I have. as is stands now there is some sort of color scheme , allbeit not that noticable because they didnt stick to it when they moved some equipment from a co-location. but I have slowly been figuring out more and more about what goes where. hopefully by 2017 I can have all this finished.

NO NO , this is at my work. Long story short , I took over the IT department like I said about 6 months ago. This horrendous mess is 10 years of shitty IT guys who didnt care just did the work as fast as possible. I am all self taught , so I look at this as a learning experience, If I know what not to do and better yet can fix the problem I think I come out ahead. I look at this as a paid internship lol

Holy cow, this thread has now gone way past my knowledge of networking. I love it, now I need to get my networking game up. This is what I came to when I started 6 months ago The cables havent really been fixed yet, I started with hardware becuase they had some really old machines , as well as running really old software. Started there, thats almost done so now Im trying to upgrade the servers to at least Gb speeds(as they are plugged into 10/100 switches now)

as great as this is, I am not going to use this cause the equipment has been ordered and I cant wait to order more equipment.

my experience with Ubiquiti is that they are pretty simple to setup. I have never used one of there routers but Id have to agree that the AP's at least are very simple to set up.

How long have you had the system running? is it a new setup?

most of these computer I work on as user computer have like some no name 350w PSU. Yea Man this Fx-8350 was my first like gaming rig CPU and boy it has scared me alot of times but still keeps going. Hopefully Zen is as good as they say. I would love for AMD to actually release a new architecture .

yea but in a work place, you are mostly going to be dealing with dell manufactured PC's so power shouldnt be an issue. also on the complete opposite specturm if you are dealing with a custom built system I always add a couple hundreds watts to what I guess is needed. this is just my expereince

I am like 98% sure that it was the PSU I can try just unplugging the cpu header and see if it boots tomorrow . if that doesnt recreate the problem Ill know it was the PSU? Fair process???

check this out wonder if its the same issue?? same CPU and he is using a 500w psu but said he had it running.

Looking at your PSU its only 500w , That was my issue if you read in the post. I got a antec 950w and problem solved. This chip is power hungry and at first blew a 750w PSU (although it was a cheap PSU)

kinda like this? oddly enough I just got my 8350 outta storage using it at work and had the same problem. Mine was a PSU issue
