Im having flashbacks to when i had a similar job at IBM back in the day, and we "lost" a z990 system. There was considerable more understanding when I couldn't find a blade server the size of a hardback book than when i couldn't find a machine the size of a car. Thankfully it showed up in Beaverton like 3 months later.

Im still bitter about their ITCS 300 policies that dictated I couldn't have access to the LOM of the blades to enable the beacon light for identification. Nothing like walking through multiple 8,000 sft server rooms looking for 1 server among thousands.
