According to nitrous.digex.net for its mae-west router:
card inlet hotpoint exhaust RSP(4) 26C/78F 38C/100F 44C/111F ^^^^^^^ This is the problem. MFS doesn't have proper cooling if the air if the ambient air is this hot. It should be no higher than between 15C and 18C in an equipment room like that.

Michael, c'mon... 15-18C? 19C is 66F -- that's very acceptable. 15C would be 59F! In fact, 68F (at 40% RH) is pretty "standard" for most equipment rooms. We're config'd for a setpoint of 67F +/- 1F and 40% RH +/- 3%. One of our more heavily loaded 7513s shows at present: card inlet hotpoint exhaust RSP(6) 19C/66F 29C/84F 25C/77F That's right where it should be. BTW, exhaust temperature above hotpoint (which your stats show) is *not* a good thing. I'd find out what's going on there -- you may have some kind of obstruction with the airflow. -- -- Karl Denninger (karl@MCS.Net)| MCSNet - The Finest Internet Connectivity http://www.mcs.net/~karl | T1's from $600 monthly to FULL DS-3 Service | 99 Analog numbers, 77 ISDN, http://www.mcs.net/ Voice: [+1 312 803-MCS1 x219]| NOW Serving 56kbps DIGITAL on our analog lines!
