I have to laugh at this, because I remember when n+1 power supplies came out , they weren’t always a thing.

I had a few pyramids, and it was dead easy to kick the cable out of the back. I got a warning from a ce about it, around ‘97 . Makes me wonder if it was related.

Stupid free standing mini computers that were bigger than a rack so lots of cabling issues. Don’t start me on running 64 serial cables out the back
