Report suggests datacentre firms embrace flexible connection agreements, allowing grid operators to temporarily curtail their loads during peak demand or emergencies.

A prayer for help from #datacentre folk out there! 🙏🏻

I have inherited a number of #Schneider Netshelter Input Metered PDUs, model number APDU10150ME

I do not have the login credentials for them, and the default credentials (admin/12345678) don't work.

I cannot figure out how to factory reset them. There's a reset button on the front panel, but all that does is restart the NMC.

Does anyone know how to factory reset this specific device?

Well, our support partner came up with the goods, and I can't find this online or in any official documentation.

You need to put a copy of the default config on a USB stick and upload it to the device locally. This resets the device to its default state.

I don't have a USB stick with me in the DC today, so I'll give this a try tomorrow.

Interestingly, the supplied default config file appears to be binary 🤔

The device documentation only mentions a full reset via serial console...which requires valid login credentials as far as I can tell #datacentre #Schneider

"Tier 1 Datacentre" sounds really impressive until you realise you've just described the linen closet of the average r/homelab user.

No, say no. Tell governments no.

BC told a crypto company no power for you. BC got sued. BC won.

It works, you're winning, say no.

Tell governments to say NO to crypto, data centres and AI.

NO.
