This work was successfully carried out last night.

We managed to clear "snaps" of customers before the work took place.

We realised on the day that as the other three have dual PSUs and
their move was only one rack footprint sideways, we could move them
without ever powering them off. So we did, and the only outage you
may have noticed would have been a few instances of network loss for
a few seconds each as network cables were re-routed.

It does mean that these three servers didn't get the 10GE NICs
added. We will tackle that at a later date for these servers.

Thanks for your patience!

Cheers,
Andy
