We moved a big call center system (a NCR unix server and a connected tele switch) into a new server room. After 2 weeks someone called from the sales staff complaning that the system didnt deliver any phone calls to the sale people using it (around 100 persons). We tried to acces the server and it did look OK then we checked the admin console on the big tele switch and it said that it couldnt connect to the switch cards in the cabinet so we went down to the server room.. .. mmmmm... mmm..

We had placed the tele switch directly under a cooling machine that was water driven (you can se were im going with this.. ).

we hade around 5-6 liter of water in the tele switch cabinet... we even had water in the power supply that was mounted in the cabinet with no shielding cover! the funny thing was that the admin console card was still working despite the fact that 6 liters of water hade gone trough the power suply im just glad we didnt get electricuted

VERY EXPENSIVE MISTAKE !!!!!! the swtich was around 200K $...
