Weekly Tech Tip


Modules for Cockpit (Houston) are Live! 

Check out this week’s Tech Tip, where our lead engineer, Brett Kelly, gives us a summary of each module and tells us where to find the install packages.

Bits & Bytes:

Remember to remove all drives before transporting your server!

External vibration from a moving vehicle, unsteady feet, and especially a courier service - can damage your drives. Not to mention a populated server is heavy AF.  Take them out, wrap them individually and save yourself from lost data!
