What’s inside:

HP 1410-24 24 Port Gigabit Switch

Gigaswitch 8 Port (Gigabit? Switch)

Riello UPS bypass switch (not too sure about the model)

HPE Proliant, 4 * DL360/DL380 Gen 4 servers (pretty much E-waste, planning to repurpose server case fans for soldering station or for additional cooling).

——————————————————————

I want to put my setup currently that I have, into the new server rack.

I would greatly appreciate it if you all could give me any ideas/guide me on how I could:

Put everything into the rack 1.

Make use of the spare devices without a purpose 1.

Run new services 1.

Make use of all my unused hard drives 1.

What to do with Proliant gen 4 servers
