My first day on the job and the servers went down. I was really worried about getting them back online since I had not had too much time to look at them prior to getting hired as the new technician last week. I had to finish out the week at my old job installing used poweredge servers and it was a very long week.

I had decided to change companies, when this one with more pay, better benefits and better hours came available. My wife really pushed me to apply and I ended up getting it.

I headed on down to the storage room where the servers were and could not believe that they were all poweredge servers. The last week of installing the used servers at my old job was going to pay off. I knew the insides and outs of these used poweredge servers and would have no trouble fixing these as long as they were still in good working order.

When it took me less than thirty minutes to get the servers back online, my new boss told me that they had never gotten up and running any sooner than a day or two with their old technician. It made me feel good to have my little secret of having installed ten used servers of the same make and model only about four days earlier.
