This task will track the swapping of the PDU tower(s) in rack A3-eqiad.
The current PDU tower is malfunctioning, with a short having caused issues on both side B (wholly offline) and parts of side a (one circuit group of outlets has defunct outlets.)
Chris has onsite spares (2 dual-wide PDU towers with 48 ports per side) to test out and use for replacement in this rack.
The following steps must be met for this swap:
[] - all servers will need to be taken offline and powered down for the duration of the migration
[] - old pdu must be removed from the rack, new pdu installed, all power migrated over to it
The side B of A3-eqiad may also have had the circuit breaker tripped during the failure, and may require Equinix technicians to flip the breaker in the EQ circuit breaker box.
The following items are in a3-eqiad: https://netbox.wikimedia.org/dcim/racks/3/
