Is it possible? I've been working on a Cisco project for 2 months now. I closed it out and everything was working fine. UNTIL .......................
a pipe burst and flooded the IT room. directly over all the Cisco servers.
I got a blow dryer (no Lance Bass) on it now . . . Is there anyway to maybe dry this sh!t out and get it to work.
total fuckery today, folks.  10/31/2006 12:33:31 PM

if everything got shut down quickly all the hard drives should be ok
computers are probably all fucked
this happened at one of the plants in mexico when it blew up
out of all the hard drives only one was bad because it got crushed 10/31/2006 12:39:06 PM |

sorry to hear about all this, but who was the dumb ass architect/engineer who placed piping over an IT room? or vice-versa, who was the dumb ass IT guy who didn't do their research before placing all this sensitive equipment under piping?
they do have carpet dryers that could help move some more air through the space 10/31/2006 12:42:14 PM |

total fuckery. some of the equipment shorted. its all getting special ordered and overnighted. what happened was a pipe burst 2 floors up and it tricked down i guess. the tile directly above the IT rack gave way and water drained on it for at least an hour.
its over $100K work of sh!t. including the equipment the software and the licenses, etc. tomorrow i have to set all this sh!t up again. 10/31/2006 4:39:39 PM |

That is sucking.
I was hired by an insurance company to determine what could be salvaged after the same thing happened at a small office. The insurance company was trying to save a buck and they were convinced everything would be fine after it dried out.
Even though everything was off when it got soaked and was dried out well before ever turning it on, each item was behaving in new exciting ways that it was never intended to. The workstations were rebooting and crashing. The laser printer print quality was good but random characters were getting inserted in the middle of documents. About the only thing that worked reliably were the dot matrix printers after I regreased the print head rails.
My recommendation was to replace every bit of equipment.
