Hello all.
Got a few questions on our Rampage boxes overheating.
In the pre-press dept. we have 4 Macs, 2 PCs, 2 HPs, and the associated monitors. (8100, and 8550). The room itself is approx 20' x 20'. So its on the small side, and not alot of air movement or ventilation.
We also have 2 of the 3 RamPage boxes in there as well (The shooter is in another room).
The owner of the company wants to save $$, by turing off the AC in the front offices, including the pre-press dept.
And it now gets very warm in there.
Currently its 84 in here, and the fans on the 2 Rampage boxes are running on hi constantly.
Ive been telling him he needs to turn the AC on, to keep them cool, so they wont die on him/us.
Has anyone had their rampage boxes die on them from overheating?
If so, how bad was the outcome?
Did you loose any/all of the info on the HDs?
Any damage to the components themselves?
Im kinda looking for information to go to the owner and say "Look, heres whats gonna happen, and what it will cost you, if we dont keep them cool!".
Thanks for any input.
