how about the
Opteron's temperatures? I suppose it is
installed in an air-conditioned room.
Who knows? How to check?
I don't know how to check the internal temp, if anyone knows, that'd
be cool. But I can say that the facility that it's in is perfectly
fine -- a proper modern colocation facility with ample ventilation,
backup power, and what not.
We've *got* a remote-controllable power strip.
We're out of outlets,
and it doesn't allow cycling two outlets at once.
I'd be happy to move some less urgent machine of mine off the remote
power strip, to make room for wikipedia, except that the limiation on
cycling two outlets at once makes this a useless gesture.
But, remote power strips are not expensive in the grand scheme of
things, if someone can find one that permits us to cycle two outlets
at once. This can't be a rare problem -- tons of people have machines
with redundant power supplies.
(My bright idea was to leave one of the outlets unplugged for now, so
we could cycle the machine by cycling the other, but Jason reports that
the machine makes an ungodly noise when both supplies aren't plugged in!)
I'll be on the phone to Penguin Monday morning, consulting with them
about a sensible course of action.
