Hi David,
   Thanks for the specs... very informative... I have a fan in the doorway...
still running 76 degrees right now at the CPU... we have all internal drives...
all half-height 2 and 4 gig drives so??? the UPS is beeping about once ever
20-30 minutes tho??? this is not good :(

   A Side Note: the internal temp on my APC UPS for the network fileserver which
I left up last night was 49 degrees CELSIUS! this morning when I came in...
usually it maintains a 28 degrees Celsius  not good :(

Art "Wish I could wear shorts here hehehe :( " Bahrs

Art hehehe Bahrs,

   I had the same problem last year, except it was on a weekend.  When I=

couldn't dial-in, I decided to come to work to see what was wrong.  When=

I got here, the computer room was 120 degrees.  The system (950) was
still running, but had performed a "high temp" shutdown.  A few days
later, a 7937 disk drive belt disintegrated.

   The "Recommended Operating Range" for the 950 is 66F to 86F, and the
"Operating Range" is 41F to 104F.

   The "Operating Range" on the DTC-48 is 32F to 131F.

   The "Recommended Operating Range" for a 7937 is 68F to 78F, and the
"Operating Range" is 32F to 131F.

   Do you have any of the old disk drives with drive belts?  If not, I
would shutdown as many devices as possible, and put a large fan in the
doorway.  Watch the use of tapes in high temperatures.  (Did I mention
that you should paint a beach on the walls and charge admission?)

   On the bright side, I can now say I've finally gotten some use out of=

the "Environmental Requirements" section of my "System Specification".

                        Hope this helps,
                        David N. Lukenbill
