First time I got into the computer room back in the days when one unix mini-computer ran hundreds of terminals. I was asked to put a reel tape into the drive to load a tar archive into the Oracle database.
I couldn’t get the tape drive door open so I looked around and saw a key next to the door.
That didn’t open the door either. I was stood there scratching my head when the double doors burst open and half a dozen sysadmins came running in like a SWAT team.
I was a bit surprised until I glanced down and notice all the lights were off.
Yes the key that turned the power off had been left in the machine.
