Hardware / Devices#
There’s a lot of hardware that goes into my media center. While some of it provides multiple functions, all of it plays a role on some level.
Here’s a photo of my current server rack in my office. Most of these are discussed on the server page, but there’s some network hardware in there as well as a UPS.
From top to bottom, left to right, you see…
Synology DS1010+, which provides all storage.
A Lutron hub, an Akita, and a SmartThings hub for home automation/IoT work.
Tablo, which handles over-the-air DVR services.
Ubiquiti UniFi Security Gateway (the white square with the blue light) as the main firewall/entry from the outside for internet.
CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD, the UPS that most (but not all) of this is plugged into.
A USB hard drive where Megaplex gets backed up.
HP ProCurve 2810-24G switch, connecting these together and linking back to the main network.
Megaplex, my custom dedicated Plex server.
For more detail on any of these things or items in the system that aren’t pictured, dig in here.
