- sohkamyung 11y agoI'm not sure. There might be two design issues here: 1) placing the reset button directly above a port, making it easier to be hit by anything that happens to poke up above the port. Moving the button to one side would be logical. 2) making the reset button stick out. On consumer routers, the reset switch is usually recessed in a hole to make it harder to accidentally hit. Of course, the requirement for a reset switch for a device in a datacentre might be different. Doing 1) or 2) would prevent the problem.
- buffoon 11y agoOf course. However DC kit has a long history of fail. Even old sun kit would drop to the monitor if you yanked the console cable. This on one occasion killed an entire e4500 cluster we had running oracle which failed over and then resumed crashing both instances. This happened due to a port glitch on the console server. Perhaps I'm just desensitised to the issue.
