Previous Winning Entry: Metal Dust Causes Complete Power Failure
"Our El Paso, TX facility recently installed a new UPS for its data center. As a result of the construction, minute particles of metal dust were left in the data center. Within a month of the installation, we suffered a complete power failure in our data center. After investigation, it was determined that a small amount of metal dust found its way onto the UPS's circuit board (through AC vent circulation) and bridged a trace which resulted in the shorting out of the UPS."
