Are you trying to give me a *heart attack* so early in the day?

NO NO NO!

The fuse had *absolutely nothing* to do with AC power surges (which are 95%
caused by lightning). The fuse is for a failed power supply (i.e. the Power One
itself failing) and causing the fuse to blow, which prevents your rack from
*catching on fire*.
