    I worked on systems like that. The little lights indicate bits, and the little switches set them to 0s and 1s. For a system I worked on, you used the front panel switches to enter the bootloader manually, one word at a time, like this:

    LOOP: Flip switches for next address in sequence and press the ADDRESS button. Flip switches to enter the data value at that address and press the DATA button. Goto LOOP. When done, set the program counter register to point to the address of the first instruction, and press the RUN button.

    I left out some of the details, but you get the idea. Yes, there was a way to step through the memory to see the values on the indicators, without entering each individual address one by one.

    By the way, that system used core memory.

    Ask and you shall receive.

    Some of our Core i3/i5/i7 servers with our custom ardiuno and relayboards for remote power control.

    And some of our AMD Ryzen servers.

  • @terrahost why desktop cases?

    No bad tone intended.

    Cost saving. Rack servers are much more expensive. I know we can get dual PSUs for ATX, but they are also very expensive, so we rather just buy good quality PSUs and replace the very few that eventually go bad.

    Hetzner is also using desktop cases for most of the servers

    Yours @terrahost looks amazing! great job

    I assume you bulk buy the cases at wholesale rates? Regular computer cases can be dirt cheap if you look hard enough.

    And I thought programming temperature chambers every now and again was annoying. Doing that all day? Not fun.

    Reminds me of all the times I buy a ton of cables to properly organize but never do. Google datacenters look awesome.

    I got no time for a rack.
    Devices are scattered around the Fast
    Ethernet
    switch.
    Cable colors are all over the place.
    Power cords are too long.
    USB 3.0 hard drive is on USB 2.0 port.
    If I need to change something, I just unplug everything.

    You must have a really big phone.

    I'd love to score one of those 24 drive hot swap chassis from eBay, but shipping kills everytime.

    That plastic can take a regular paper towel or more likely in yoursunny's case, free restaurant napkins.

    Also, not a NUC. That's an HP (ProDesk? EliteDesk?). NUCs are larger. Well, my only NUC was.

    Yeah, power button looks to be a Dell.
