How do you get big equipments (e.g.a pallet of server components, or a whole rack of new servers) into the area?
Separate double bay doors. They have a pair for each floor that opens to an outside wall. You use a forklift to get the pallets up. That or there is a big ass freight elevator, depending on the data center.
So it's basically this setup https://youtu.be/cP4d74Qk3ac?si=Fq_I12sU4uIAgm7w
likely admin override right? i think as a lowly employee this is what he had to do
There was third party security at this particular facility. You had to show your ID, have them confirm you’re authorized to bring equipment in, then they’d bring it through a locked freight door for you.
