@cmooney I have these three servers I'd like to rack in A3, B3, and C1 using the new Nokia switches. If you have any concerns, let me know. Otherwise, I'll plan to rack them next week, if that works for you.

A3 and B3 aren't ready for servers right now, so depends when they need to go live. Probably by the end of next week they will be, so unless they are super urgent should be ok.

C1 is good to go immediately.

I'm currently blocked by power limitations in the existing 10G racks, so I don't think there's any urgency to get these servers turned over right away. Waiting a few weeks shouldn't have any impact, and it would give us a good opportunity to test the new Nokia switches.

Unable to install the rails they are too long and prevent the rack doors from closing.
Emailed Willy, Rob, and Jen to contact Supermicro for alternate rails.
