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?
