The issue is since these are in telco closets the telco A$% holes are pulling the power to move them around. Granted they are only running VPN, routing and some IDS services so data loss isn't a really big deal but I just don't want these boxes to blow up. I guess I could put an LCD on then and put a shutdown that will do a shutdown now.
I just wanted to know what was going to happen. The telco guys are contractors and there is no dedicated computer room since there are no servers at these sites. So I am a little SOL on telling these guys not to do it. The cases are also not PC based. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ian P.
