Hi Phil,

really great info :)

Phil,

Don't know what card it's on or even if it's on a card, but it/they work
quite well on a 3000 987.  Not real bright though, just shuts it off.
Found out the hard way.

I can't speak for all HP 9000 boxes but the K series has a thermal
shutdown function.  Warns you at 95 F, warns again at 100 F, and
shuts down at 104 F.  Don't know if it's "bright" or not as I have yet
to experiance the pleasure of one of these shutdowns.  Also I'm
going by memory on the temps as I don't have a manual handy.

WARNING: This may be slightly OFF TOPIC.

Can anyone tell how the HP3000 senses an over-temperature condition?
I would imagine that there would be a thermostat-like device inside the
HP3000 box. If so, which card contains that device?

Additionally, is there a similar thing in the HP9000 to sense over-temperature
conditions? Thanks.
