Computer room was a room *within* the main warehouse, with windows all around (ops hated it - said it made them feel like animals in a zoo). Engineer plus trainee running maintenance on the Halon system. Trainee fumbles something and triggers the gas dump. Pressure surge was great enough that the compuer room windows blew out into the warehouse. Management not impressed with the idea of using Halon to extinguish smoking potato chips, etc.. ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [[email protected]] on behalf of zMan [[email protected]] Sent: 22 March 2012 17:33 To: [email protected] Subject: Pre-Friday fun: Halon dumps and POK Resets So over the years I've heard a few good stories about accidental (or deliberate) Halon dumps and BRS pressings. Like operators playing Frisbee in the machine room and discovering that the Halon button really, really needs a cover on it... Who else has stories to share? -- zMan -- "I've got a mainframe and I'm not afraid to use it" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN _____________________________________________________________ Netscape.
