HOLY MOTHER OF....!!!
Well my morning just started off with a bang. Literally.
The boss ordered a new 1000va UPS for the rack at the office. Got it in last night just before I left. So, I plug said UPS in to let it charge overnight. This morning I come in and shut down the servers and install said UPS in the rack. I plug it back in and I get lights. Good sign. I plug the server (Linux Server, PDC, DHCP, ODBC, Firewall, router, Web server, Mail server, File server, etc. all in one machine) I turn on said server. BANG!!!!! Smoke everywhere. I haven't really cussed like a sailor in years, but I did this morning.
Turns out the UPS was for 220v power. The power supply in the suffered a catastrophic failure. Fortunately, I replaced the power supply and everything came up fine. Not a good way to start the day though.
The Dragon has left the building.
