We bought 2 machines (together).  Expensive ones.  After putting them
in, my peon walks around looking at them.  One had a green blinking
power led.  All is well.  The other had a red blinking power led.
Peon went nuts looking in the documentation, etc etc.  Diagnostics and
everything seems to indicate the system is working.  Called support
up.  After a while, they finally figured out what was the problem.
The vendor neglected to spec the color of the power led, and had
sourced it from 2 different factories.  So, one factory put in a green
led, and the other put in a red one.

I have since made it my life's mission to tell every single one of
their reps that in a data center, you only want to see green blinking
lights, not red blinking lights.
