So I just had an AS/400 crash on me pretty hard today. The plastic coating had worn away from some of the cables and was leaving the metal underneath it bare. The cables were in the cable management however the arm of the cable management allowed the cables to get close to the metal of the rack and caused a short. Suddenly no AS/400. Luckily the 400 was resilient enough that it brought itself back up pretty quickly with few problems. Although now I have to swap cables tonight on a Friday night. I guess it is a good thing that I don’t have a life and that I didn’t have anything planned for tonight.

I did learn one valuable lesson though, even if your cables are in cable management make sure you are checking them and that you see if the plastic covering has been worn away.
