Hello, In my experience with heating issues the only thing that really degrades quickly in event of overheating are hard drives. If you had them spun down it should be fine. CPU / Memory / Motherboards will be fine. The only other thing I can think of having possible issues are PSU's but if they were powered off should be fine as well. Maybe melted wires but I dont think it was hot enough for that. Thanks On Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 9:28 PM, Erik Levinson <erik.levinson@uberflip.com>wrote:
As some may know, yesterday 151 Front St suffered a cooling failure after Enwave's facilities were flooded.
One of the suites that we're in recovered quickly but the other took much longer and some of our gear shutdown automatically due to overheating. We shut down remotely many redundant and non-essential systems in the hotter suite, and transferred remotely some others to the cooler suite, to ensure that we had a minimum of all core systems running in the hotter suite. We waited until the temperatures returned to normal, and brought everything back online. The entire event lasted from approx 18:45 until 01:15. Apparently ambient temperature was above 43 degrees Celcius at one point on the cool side of cabinets in the hotter suite.
For those who have gone through such events in the past, what can one expect in terms of long-term impact...should we expect some premature component failures? Does anyone have any stats to share?
Thanks
