We had an overnight air conditioning failure. We discovered that the temperature in the server room had reached about 110-115°F (43-46°C). We powered off everything that hadn’t already and had the A/C fixed. Now that it’s fixed, I’m concerned of the damage done by the extended exposure to the high temperature. I’d like to run … Read more
