Have you gotten into the RBSU and changed the power profile to "Minimum Power Usage"?

The way to do this with an L3 managed switch is to use inter-vlan routing and access control lists.

First part is simple enough, enable IP routing in the switch, then give your vlan interfaces an IP address.

To control which nets can talk to others you build ACLs and attach the policy to the vlan. For instance, you can permit your workstation on the main net to talk to anything on nets 2, 3, and 4, and conversely they can talk back to only your workstation if you wish. Then you can deny anything on nets 2 - 4 from talking to each other.

I run a completely separate switch for OOB, a separate vRouter in the firewall, with rules to allow those devices access to their update servers and nothing else

At 6TB, why not just build a NAS rather than keeping that much storage attached to a single machine over USB?

Visio has been pretty much standard in all my work roles for rack elevation and network diagram drawings, so I use it for home stuff too

APC Symmetra LX 16kVa wired to a secondary panel. That panel feeds both the rack and computer receptacles in my office.

For extended outages I have a natural gas powered permanently installed backup generator. Generator start and transfer switch is fully automatic

As far as the rack and my office machines are concerned the power never goes out, even though my area experiences frequent brownouts and winter has a pretty good chance of seeing an extended blackout
