Re: 2 "disaster" related questions -- MIDRANGE-L

We did, and they agreed.

Of course, now that's it's winter the setting is in the mid 60's. Butall of the servers (i5's, Wintel), printers and some other equipment sitjust outside my office so it stays pretty decent. The guys (and gals)in our huge warehouse have no such luxury; I try to avoid the place inthe winter.

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?
