![]() ![]() ![]() Once on-site, ideally, this would have been a double-click, plug-and-play event - but often, the configuration, install, and patching process for one of these systems was a Sisyphean effort. Sneakernet installation, we called it, meaning someone would need to walk in with a disk or drive and manually execute the install onto the target air gapped system. No checking for version updates and patches. No calls out to external authentication providers. Old hacks like myself with some history of supplying software for banks and government agencies have encountered the need for air gapping - basically, installing onto a system that is not connected to the Internet at all - nor any network that could offer any port for security breaches to occur.īasically, air gapping is the purest form of on-premises software delivery, in that absolutely everything needed for that software to run must be packaged for local installation and ready to run disconnected from any network. If you are new to the concept of airgapping, that’s OK. The push for off-premises migration of software has never been stronger -by some architectural estimations, it’s taken for granted that most applications should move to the cloud in the next couple of years if they are not there already.īut wait, why are some companies hitting that big red disconnect button today, and doing on-prem air gap software installs? The Origins of Air Gapping To be agile and responsive, you must orchestrate the delivery of applications across some kind of hybrid public or private cloud, which could be provisioned from service providers, called via APIs from a marketplace, or deployed into ephemeral cloud-native micro services. Now, even one flavor of cloud is no longer good enough for most highly distributed software applications. Repeat the adjustment process until the tool fits closely between the electrodes.By Jason English ( ) – Intellyx | Part 1 of the Intellyx On-Prem Innovation Series It is important to use the proper spark plug gapping tool. Precious metal iridium or platinum center electrodes can be very delicate when it comes to prying them. If you snap off the bottom electrode or damage the center electrode from excessively prying on it, you'll need a new spark plug. Also, take care not to hit the center electrode. It is durable but isn't designed to take a lot of pressure. Don't bend the electrode more than a few fractions of an inch. Gently bend the ground electrode in to narrow the gap or bend it out to widen it.īe very careful when making adjustments. Use your spark plug gap tool to adjust the gap. If the tool runs through the gap without touching the electrodes, the gap is too big and must be narrowed. If you can’t get the correct feeler gauge through the gap, the gap needs to be widened. Select the correct measurement on your gap gauge or feeler gauge. Take note of the measurement and compare it to the recommended setting listed in the owner's manual. Using your gap gauge or feeler gauge, run the tool through the electrodes to determine the measurement. Measure the existing gap of the spark plug. Never use abrasive materials to clean a spark plug. ![]() If it is new, this shouldn't be an issue however, if you are checking a spark plug that is currently in the vehicle, it might be dirty on the contact points. ![]()
