What are you trying to accomplish? Remember, the more information you
place on your servers or equipment racks, the more information is
availble to anyone that walks into your server room. I would suggest
labeling the servers, labeling each screen on the vidoe switch itself
(if your KVM can do this) and that is about it. If you would like more
documentation, I would great a Viso diagram (or something similar)
document that remains confidential and solely in the control of the
network admin. Remember, in the land of the blind...the one eyed man is

Subject: [THIN] Way OT: Rack Equipment Labelling
Bit of a random subject, i know, but i've just started planning on doing
th=3D is as its one of my pet peeves about the setup here!
Its only a small getup, one rack filled with a 4/5 servers, couple of
route=3D rs, switches, etc none of which is currently labelled, save for
the compute=3D rs themselves and theres about a dozen coloured network
leads (not specific=3D ally labelled, but i've worked out what colours
service what).. So what i want to know is, do you label everything, plug
sockets, network l=3D eads, routers, etc? If not what and how?
