Getting Power to a Rack Enclosure?

Posted by Cliff on from the have-outlet-will-compute dept.

JazzyJ asks: "I need some ideas on some fire/electrical code compliant ways to get power into some bare bones rack mount enclosures I have. The racks are essentially in the center of a room with 3 ft around all sides. There's a 4 outlet box on each wall. Other than getting building maintenance to drop me a circuit along the floor or out of the ceiling, what options for getting power into these monsters do I have? Extension cords are right out, that is against fire/electrical code. Help!?"

  1. Here's the best solution: by kommakazi · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    1) Resign from your job. You're obviously not qualified if you have to "Ask Slashdot" for something this moronic. 2) Realize your question answered itself. Just think, there's not really any other logical solution aside from getting floor or ceiling outlets installed. 2) Enroll in kindergarden. Repeat education, you obviously didn't learn much the first time(s?) around. 3) ????? 4) Try to get your job back.
