Early Vid: Enterprise Power Distribution Units
Added 2025-08-19 04:22:32 +0000 UTCTaking a look at some enterprise PDUs, specifically an ADP AP7830 from 2005. I'll go over the current retro rack power situation, fire up this AP7830 to see if we can interact with it, and prototype a future control panel using an old Liebert System3 panel and some ESP8266 microcontrollers.
Video should go live Thursday or Friday!
