Polite Notice:

While working on this Quantum SNAP Server 2000, please do not leave the power cable connected to provide a ground for the IDE-USB adaptor you are using to read the disks, as 240v across the chest often offends.

Thank you.

(Incidentally, it was set up as a RAID 0, and one of the disks was very dead. They had no backups. They declined my very generous offer of an extra half hour of my time to set up rsync for them. And yes, I still hurt.)

Was it you who left the power cable connected?

If not... LAWSUIT!

(no, I'm not... I'm Canadian :) )
