Electrical Smoke Event?
"It blew up and stopped working..."
Magic smoke escaped.
Cray has revealed that its products' Q2 profits have literally gone up in smoke. The company this week announced second quarter revenue of US$100.2m, down from $186.2m in 2015's corresponding quarter.

I'm left wondering exactly how thick a smoke needs to be to actually _damage_ something other than it's own source - and my guess is they're not talking about ruining the paintjob, they should be able to swap out a case quickish-like... unless the issue is that then they need to redo all the acceptance testing they might have done already.
Forget about the smell - my guess is that the damage was not so much caused by the smoke itself, but rather by what happened after the smoke detectors were triggered.
Imagine all those beautiful computers hosed down by some overeager fire fighter. Or perhaps less dramatically just the sprinkler system setting them under water.

"Things aren't going to be much easier in Q3, due to “a very recent electrical smoke event caused by a failed manufacturing facility power component a fire that will delay the Company's ability to deliver on some customer contracts in 2016, including an impact on anticipated third quarter revenue.”
There; that's a bit better.
