Draker Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Apparently someone ran into a power poll or something and knocked out power here at my work. Normally this would be sweet, except I work in IT and have to try and safely power down two dozen servers before the UPS dies. I got half way through powering everything down and the UPS dies. Keep in mind this is in a room with no windows and no backup lights, at least around the server rack. Long story short is one of our servers took a shit. Power supply failed and appears to have taken a few bits of harware with it. Uhg... Thanks to whom ever it was. You made my perfectly good week turn to shit in a less than a second. 1 Quote Link to comment

Searching for the positive in your dilemma~ now'd be a great time to make the pitch for bigger/more UPS's.... and a flashlight. Quote Link to comment
