some tips for you:
1- make a copy of the sdcard after it's fully configured, so you can just replace it in case of an emergency. (i didn't, spent 4+ hours recovering)
2- You probably use external HDDs or something like that for data storage, right? Make them redundant. Use ZFS in mirror mode if you have only 2, or in raid mode with 3 or more. If you can't use ZFS for some reason, use snapraid to keep an in-place backup.
3- Do not take of the fans from your rack with the excuse that the new, more powerful fans will arrive tomorrow. Leave them on always. I just learned this lesson the hard way
