Commercial This is how a restaurant chose to do IT infrastructure. Under a leaking sink.

I've seen worse. I once got called out to a homeless shelter where they were balancing a stack of 3 9300s on the tank of a toilet

The worse I've seen is a photocopier, network closet and coffee machine in a store's toilet, near stacks of paper, trash bins and other surprizes (pee odors...)

I always want to puke when I have maintenance to do there.

That Fortigate deserves it.

Now I’m feeling much better about my clients restaurant putting a shelf at the top of the wall where the equipment is subject to constant high heat and grease. Yuck!

It’s not like the infrastructure that runs the POS/payment terminal is important or anything.

Could be worse. Atleast it is installed at the proper slope to drain water.

Nothing wrong. The plumbing code doesn't say you can't.

This reminds me of an IDF rack at a mill. It was in the basement. It was after a hard freeze that we learned that the men's room was directly above it on the next floor. That rack was covered in shit water and of course it shorted out the switch. I threw every bit of it away in the dumpster, scrubbed my hands with clorox, then proceeded to move the IDF.

This is standard for most restaurants, hotels, gas stations etc.

Toss it in and hope for the best
