Re: when a ups doesn't help

Do I conquer with this. Last year, one of my technician open the back
panel of an Iseries (he needed to do something with a fax line). A bunch
of cable was somehow hooked to the interior of the back panel. So when
he opened the panel, the power cord was pulled out and the system went
down. Let me tell you that we looked very foolish. Now, our power cord
are tierapped (not sure of the spelling) inside the iseries so we must
use scisor to unplug the power.

IBM sould design some kind of locking mecanism for this.

Since we are adding up a best practices list - i wish IBM would
provide a way to lock the power cord to the back of the machine (some
clamp or something so that walking over the power cord cannot pull it
from back of the unit.
Small shops do not have raised floors or racks, and even then,
repositioning
a unit can cause the power cord to dislodge.
