As long as the Pix has any configuration changes that were made since you took it offline...
I understand the spending limits, thing. And I do agree with Jonathan, that having a good relationship with a reliable vendor is very important, especially in the private sector where you're not required to jump through a bunch of hoops to buy something. Here, I have to go out and get 3 quotes no matter if I'm buying a $50,000 item, or a $15.00 item. >>> John Aldrich <jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com> 4/28/2011 7:50 AM >>> Yeah... I thought about possibly having a spare power supply on-hand, but if it's only going to go out once a year (so far, that's about what it's been) then spending an extra $200+ to keep one sitting on the shelf is probably not going to go over well with management (all about not spending any more than we *have* to right now.) Especially when I can just swap out the "dead" ASA for the old, but working Pix. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Heaton [mailto:jhea...@dfg.ca.gov] Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 10:49 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: ASA power supply Well, CDW has always been a reliable vendor for us. If their price is close to the small businesses, go that route. Or, just call a few of the vendors, or look at the Better Business Bureau for negatives, etc. Sometimes, you just have to go with who can get it there the fastest, if this ASA is causing a system outage. And maybe this can be a lesson learned, to make a list of vital spare parts that should be kept on hand... >>> John Aldrich <jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com> 4/28/2011 7:44 AM >>> Ok. I've found more vendors.... most of them are under $200, even for a new one. At this point, I'm wondering if any of you can recommend a vendor. Most of the online vendors showing up in Froogle are unknown to me, and I'd like a recommendation from a fellow IT pro if anyone cares to give one. -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Thursday, April 28, 2011 10:38 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: ASA power supply The power supply in our ASA died overnight. Management doesn't believe in SmartNet, so I'm having to replace the power supply myself. Having verified that the power supply is, in fact dead, I'm looking for a replacement. The ONLY big reseller I have been able to verify that sells these is CDW. I'd like to have some options. I did use Froogle, but most of the folks there are "noname" or ebay vendors... That's not necessarily something I"d want to buy off ebay. :-) Wondering if any of you have a preferred vendor for something like this? I'll continue searching the web while waiting for a response.
