Assemble racks, servers, and cables together, according to a detailed plan. Ensure the presence of electricity and a flow of air. Introduce technicians to the mix, and a datacenter is born.

A series of two short videos that starts with a single 4U rackmount server, and then goes through cable chaos, blinking LEDs, and coffee abuse, in order to end with romance and the destruction of expensive appliances.
