Hmm..

We ordered 5 boxes at once, we are shutting down 2 smaller rollovers
and replacing them with one larger rollver and PM3s. So far, no
suprises for us (except for PHB, who thought that the v34+ stuff
[33.6k] was fully done, and he learned the hard way)

All 5 units are fine, alive and kicking.

My guess, you just had bad luck.
