We replaced our raised floor tiles some time ago. There's a phenomenon
called 'zinc threads'. These form on galvanized metal, such as that found
on the bottom of computer room tiles. Lost six power supplies during the
change out. IBM central dispatch asked me if I was just changing my floor
tiles. I asked them how could they figure that out. They said tile
changes are the only time they've seen people lose multiple power supplies
like this.


Many years ago, I lost the power supplies in a couple routers while
swapping out iSeries due to messing with the cables under a raised floor.
