I'm afraid I was responsible for a shield, but on a bank of 3490 drives. For some reason, the (unshielded) power switch was placed at EXACTLY the same level as a button on the back pocket of suit pants. Anyone leaning against the drives...
The first time an entire string of tape drives powered down, no one could figure it out. I was busted the second time it happened. Soon thereafter shields were velcroed over the power switch. For a while, I was suspected for any unexplained outage, whether it was my shift or not. To the designer of the 3490 cabinet, thanks a lot.
