No, says fish, pointing to the tag. That says POST error, as in "power-on self-test." Besides, "pass" is spelled P-A-S-S.

"I know that," manager quickly replies, "but obviously the person who wrote the note misspelled the word pass, so please go ahead and install the server and get it up and running. We need it as soon as possible."

Fish tries one last time: But shouldn't the word be "passed," not "pass"? Manager: "I've been doing this for 20 years. I've seen those tags before. It's all about quality control. Trust me and set up the server."

Fish installs the server in the rack, connects all the cables and hits the power button.

And after a few seconds, a message appears: "Lin 16 CMOS POST ERROR."
