Rack-mounted Mac mini power problem solved by remote servos

I think they sell remotely controlled power outlet strips for this exact purpose. At least for PCs.

And I haven't used it in awhile but I think they can still be configured to automatically turn on after a power outage.  I would think a simple remotely managed PDU would accomplish almost everything I can think of that would be needed.

Heck, if they're still playing with PoE, they could kill the PoE at the switch to that specific Mini and then turn it back on again. It should power up if configured properly.

Also, if that rack is using the typical front to back cooling, isn't mini 16 getting way worse air than mini 1?  They may not generate that much heat but still. Maybe it's pulling cool air from the bottom of the enclosure?
