Were the power supplies physically turned off or were these machines "soft off"? Modern machines have both switches on the power supplies that turn off the whole power supply, and soft on/off buttons. My bet is that the power supplies on these were not actually in the "off" position. Under circumstances like this, I would have left off all the hard power switches until the time was ready to bring the cluster up. > The air-conditioning installment was not finished, the rack doors > were open but the lower part had many cables that basically > covered the rear part of the nodes.
