The outage had nothing to do with servers, it was a telecom issue! And the outlet in question wasn't in the telecom closet, but in a warehouse which is why the equipment was plugged in there!
No one was aware that said outlet's wiring placed it onto the same circuit as the telecom closet. If any courts-martial are handed down, they should be on the electricians!
Regardless, air compressors are quit handy for cleaning out computer chassis!
