@ RobH shipping will work for me. Thannks

@RobH: The PDU's were shipped with no power cords and there are using the same power cords cr1-codfw and cr2-codfw are using (nema 5-15p to c19). Before shipping we need to purchase those power cords. How long? can not tell because i don't know yet how the those PUD's will we plunged on site.

good catch, we'll order the longer (6') type, since thats the standard and having some slack at the peering site won't be an issue.

Let's also get a few short SC-SC single mode fibers, so we can connect a few patches (delivered by Equinix) together, until we have the router working/up. We'll be splitting an existing connection in Chicago, and until it works properly, it may be needed to join both halves ourselves.

I can take some of the sc-sc fibers from eqiad and bring with me. We have several spare and since we started using copper I don't need as many on-site.

@Cmjohnson: Done, bring them with you. I ordered the other fibers needed and papaul will include them in the shipment.

I found the XFP's from Tampa's RX-16. They made it to eqiad. Additionally
I have 7 on-site that belong to eqiad.

6 Finisar FTLX1412M3BCL 10GBAE-LR/LW (Tampa)
1 Foundry FTLX1412D2BCL-F1 10G-XFP-LR(Tampa)
7 Finisar FTLX1412M3BCL 10GBAE-LR/LW (eqiad)

I've emailed our EQ rep Arul to determine our cross-connection info for eqdfw. I have all the IX info for both sites:

CH2
Peering:
A-Side System Name CH2::01055:WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION INC
Cable ID 17915274
A-Side Port A 1
A-Side Port B 2

DA1
Peering:
A-Side System Name DA1::00372:WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION INC
Cable ID 17915019
A-Side Port A 1
A-Side Port B 2

We've linked up with Arul @ EQ for all the above. The two wave xconnects are pending (per the links in the task description). These are the only two outstanding items needed before the on-site @ each new peering location.

Edit addition: Not quite the only. We need to schedule the exchange turn up call with Arul.

I went at the DA1 site today, I complete my hand scan process so the next time it will be fast for me to access the facility. I was also able to identify our cage and cabinet but i wasn't able to open the cabinet because of the lock code.

eqdfw xe-0/0/0 cable ID = 11395 on Equinix patch panel ID= 17915019
eqdfw xe-1/0/0 cable ID = 11399 on Equinix patch panel ID = 20028800
eqdfw xe-1/1/0 cable ID = 11397 on Equinix patch panel ID = 20028799

eqdfw xe-0/0/0 cable ID = 11395 on Equinix patch panel ID= 20028800
eqdfw xe-1/0/0 cable ID = 11399 on Equinix patch panel ID = 20028799
eqdfw xe-1/1/0 cable ID = 11397 on Equinix patch panel ID = 17915019

we did change this again here is the final connection

eqdfw xe-1/0/0 cable ID = 11395 on Equinix patch panel ID= 20028800
eqdfw xe-0/0/0 cable ID = 11399 on Equinix patch panel ID = 20028799
eqdfw xe-1/1/0 cable ID = 11397 on Equinix patch panel ID = 17915019

I need to confirm with Chicago/Arul the PDUs are in place.

Below are the cable ID's for cr1-codfw and cr2-codfw
11402 cr1-codfw xe-5/0/0
11403 cr2-codfw xe-5/0/0

will update the final diagram later

So Arul confirmed they don't provide PDUs, but cannot tell me why they are then installed @ eqdfw. As such, I've chatted with Mark/Chris/Papaul during the ops meeting and we'll be including the PDUs purchased for chicago in the shipment with the router.
