Well, there's a lot we could do towards it simply by Powerboard Overkill
(tm). Neatly attach as many power sockets to each rack as there is
space for power using devices. Add a couple for luck. Add a few more in
sensible spots on the walls or hanging from the roof. Use the appropriate
circuits to power each one and possibly do some actual measurements with
a clamp meter.

 - Placement of the monitor switch and serial terminal(s)
