I had the datacenter put the new switch in earlier than posted above.

We were hoping it would not blow again but it did. I asked them for a 2 a.m.install unless we encountered another issue during the day. I asked that if it went down again to just put the new switch in instead of placing band-aids on it until 2 a.m. this evening.

We had the new switch pre-configured and ready waiting for the 2 a.m. switch, however in light of the second outage we opted to just swap it out while the sites were down. Things seem to be back to normal the second outage was approx 15 minutes.
