Not the 10000, but I admin'd a 4500 back in 1999 at Bristol-Myers Squibb at the ripe old age of 21. It was running Sun's mail server, which required constant care and feeding to even remotely reliably serve our 30,000+ users.

One time it just stopped responding, and my boss said "now, pay attention" and body-checked the machine as hard as he could.

It immediately started pinging again, and he refused to say anything else about it.
