Ok, so I need some opinions here......
I work for a Mechanical Contractor. We install commercial HVAC (heating and air conditioning) and plumbing systems. We installed an AC system into a server room for a client. Everything was going well until one day the unit shut down. (We're still trying to determine if it was because of a bad unit, or if it was due to a specific thing they did, but anyway....) It's believed that the server room reached 95'F for at MAX (maybe less) than 2 hours.
Anyway, the client wants to bill us for some equipment that supposedly died because of this. They say they had to replace a JetStore III IDE RAID Array with 8x160GB Seagate IDE HD's, as well as an Opteron Proc, motherboard, and RAM.
I know 95'F is damn hot for a server room, but IN YOUR OPINION, how likely is it that less than 2 hours at this temp would kill all this equipment?
