Re: 2 "disaster" related questions

Last summer, to save money, management dictated that thermostats be set to 75. Slightly uncomfortable for humans but bearable. However, the next morning, when I came in, the UPSs were beeping like crazy. If the UPS goes south, the System i (and the individual PCs) goes south.
I don't know what the temperature has to be for that to happen. I changed the setting to 72 and everything settled down.

What happens to the System if say the computer room overheats?  Is there some 
kind of a temperature limit which would cause an orderly system shutdown?

Also, with a hardware maintenance contract in effect, what would be IBM's 
responsibility if the system was physically demolished by a disastrous event?  
What would be the typical/general times for any hardware related responses for 
which IBM would be responsible?
