Back to my hospital visit at IT Engineer with Hospital Project. Few days ago my boss was asking me and another collegue went to a factory. I tought have some thing special to learn, but at the end, is going “kuli” work. (hard man job) Finally whole body pain after finish the job.
We went to a building which own by ASE, and part of the building was rent to a factory name Flextronic (around 4 level). According to the IT personnel there, Flextronic was going to downsize at penang, and the production was move to other place. So only 1 Level remaining.
Our Job that day is to move the Server Rack from 4th floor and 3rd floor to 1st floor.
The Factory was empty, only left the Server Rack, approximate 200Kg.
We need to take off all the cable attach with the switches in the server rack. see how messy is those cable. We only take off the cable out, and the switches and server still mount in the rack.
While moving the Server Rack, I pass thought some production area, just left few machine and all are clear.
There was an interesting part that day, 4th floor without Cargo lift, so me and my colleague need to move this bloody heavy server rack from 4th floor to 3rd floor thought the stair.
Guest how we both made it?
Walao eh~ stair wor….cant imagine….
Nowaday IT Engineer = Expensive Guli..lol…..
What if I am not as strong as you but work in the same field as you?
Requirements of an IT Engineer:
Well-builit 😆
Wayne > actually not, if you physically see me, i am just a small size guy, and i am not strong… lucky my colleague are strong enough to support the rack
few time almost get hit by the server rack, almost take my life..
actually depend la, see what your company do, IT Engineer also have free and easy one…so also sit at office online only…just my work are slidely downgrade from previous IT Officer job…
:Þ
So how you move the rack?
the metal made in the rack is not soft leh…is very heavy one… how u both move it?
Yeah, so how’d you moved it?
“few time almost get hit by the server rack, almost take my life..” — so hard job~
we both take out the door, front, back, left and right door, just left the whole rack and push down the stair, take out the door is to avoid scratch…
…two person support below the rack, slowly let the rack roll down… the gravity make the rack very heavy, it almost end my life at that moment…
Reminds me of my first job with Nippon Steel, 8 Buildings a site..and rework everything when we had to move from the first/ground floor to the third level because……of the seawater flooded!
lucky U don’t have to rewire the patch panels, re-punch them etc….
