I believe this happened to an Internap facility in Seattle a couple of years ago: http://community.livejournal.com/lj_dev/670215.html I was told it happened in our colo facility about a month before we moved in. Some unfortunate remodeling of previous data center space had left an EPO switch in a janitor's closet. The maid knocked loose the protective covering, which of course made an alarm start screaming...so she hit the EPO to stop the noise. Thankfully, the switch has been since removed... Anyhow, any story involving an EPO at 365 Main seems plausible... -J -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu] On Behalf Of Jim Popovitch Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2007 8:59 PM To: Rusty Hodge Cc: Nanog@Merit.

That article states that only Colo 4 was affected.
I'm in Colo 7 and it was affected as well.
You're not seriously believing the disgruntled employee story are you?
No. ;-) But it is otherwise believable. I've seen people hit big-red-buttons in disbelief before, doing so in anger seems very plausible. -Jim p. !SIG:46a6d6e0156535690315935!
