This task is to track the receiving, racking, and implementation of a new scs console to replace scs-a8-eqiad.
- - receive in scs console via T228202
- - add to netbox as 'future-scs-a8-eqiad' and put it as state planned.
- - test all existing scs connections before you start work, best to know it all works before you change things.
- - document any cable connections that do not use adapters, as they will need to be re-crimped per T228919#5913768
- - backup/copy down the scs cable labels to port numbering and then wipe/clear/reset to factory the old scs console.
- - unrack existing scs-a8-eqiad and rename it to its asset tag, change status to offline
- - rack new scs console, update its netbox name to scs-a8-eqiad and use all the same network settings as the old scs console
- - re-attach all connections, keeping in mind you will need to remove any cat5 inline adapters as the SCS console new versions just use standard network cables (no odd pin out.)
- - test every single connection, repair any broken connections.
- - update netbox with each connection, info, cable #, etc.
