Once upon a time when I was a desktop support tech I was asked to venture to a remote location and restart a server... simple enough.
When I arrived I found the building A/C was down. The server room door had been propped open, with the lights off. As I entered the room there was a low popping noise and I noticed a puddle under my foot. When I turned on the light I found that the server room's own A/C was attempting to cool the entire building, but for some reason the A/C had been positioned in the ceiling directly above the server rack! The overflow from the humidity had been dripping into the back of the CRT monitor, then out all over the half height server rack and down across the front of the single server inside. I reached to my left and pulled the electrical cord out of the wall, paged my boss and sat down to wait for the hardware team, the server team, the backup team, and everyone else who would not believe my text message! "The server has decided to take a shower, please send towels ASAP." ========================================== Stephen Wimberly ========================================== ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
