Re: 2 "disaster" related questions

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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.
