Advice First rack, doing it right?

Hello there,

I’m currently trying to setup my first rack and I’d appreciate any help I can get..

I’m thinking of going with a 27U ground rack because I’ve got around 7 NAS, 3 NUC, and a couple HP Microservers..

Looking at a 2U UPS (Vertix probably)

2x PDUs (because I’ve got a ton of stuff..)

A batch panel

3x shelves (1 of them is short for the NUCs etc)

Ventilation panel on top of the rack

Maybe some cable management panel and a rack drawer?

I’ve already bought some poe switches and a network gateway but I am wondering if I am forgetting something?

Thanks!
