Hi,<br>
<br>
I inherited a [small-medium sized] lab with several (a dozen or so) old
SunFire 440s and a couple Sun Netra 440s. Additional air-conditioning
was added at a later date (no precautions, never mind "proper", had
been taken against dust & etc). Of the 440s, several power-supplies
were packed tight with dust and their fans failed (if not the entire
power supply), several system fans also failed in time seemingly simply
due to the age. <br>
<br>
The Sun Fire 440 servers ran for several weeks at a time before repairs
(various reasons) and survived... But the Netra 440s were added at a later
date and haven't gone through the same torture - so no practical
information there to share.<br>
<br>
In any case, it's an interesting finding; do you have a source (might help me with managers in the future to get repairs done faster :) )?<br>
<br>

Have you ever run a netra 240 or 440 with one fan out of service?<br><br>I saw a notice today that indicates that the thing will eventually overheat if only one fan dies. The notice did not mention any specifics about the ambient temp or airflow conditions.<br>
<br>If this were a common occurrence, you'd think that it would have gotten more press by now.<br><br>Thanks,<br><font color="#888888"><br>David<br><br>
