Admin re-doing the cabling on an IDF with all his devices. Wants a second uplink to the MDF but only one stack member has a fiber 10Gbps module. Can't power down the switch but want it done today.
I've installed many on the fly before, should be no problem right?
Cue it's Always Sunny Title Screen:
"u/gotfcgo burns down the Data Centre"
Slide module into slot....
"why did all ports on the member just go off?"
"what's that orange glow in the slot?"
"what's that smell?"
Pulled the module back out, main connector is charred black and so is the slot inside.
At least a switch reload brought PoE back to the 48 access ports but I guess we'll have to try again with another member....while powered off entirely this time.
