Re: Moving disks caused outage
"The machines were too far away, so had the cable coming out at waist height, over the back of a chair, some disks and into the other machine."
I remember a job where a phone guy was given EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONS that a line was to be terminated no more than 2 metres from the router. He mounted the socket half way up the wall opposite the rack. He was about 6ft and if he stretched his arms out he could touch the router and the socket with his fingertips... job done!
(we found it was less hassle to specify the 2m gap for these jobs and order 5m cables to connect them)
