I did that with a batch of sun v20z's... when they got to the colo, no one
knew which was which until they're powered and the service processor is
fully booted. (a process that takes several minutes) By then, they've been
racked in the wrong racks and in the wrong order. :-( Of course, I've
done that to myself as well... pull a stack of machines and forget what
order they were in :-)
