Re: (ASCEND) Overheating Maxen?
We're running 4 PRIs in the box (Yes I hear that's a no-no) but have not
had any problems in the past (that's a pretty typical answer isn't it?).
I wouldn't be surprised if it were a power supply problem of some sort.
Unfortuantely, not running 4 PRIs per box is not an option at this point.
Just seems strange that these problems surfaced about 1 week after
upgrading from 5.0Ap48 (120+ days uptime on the offending box and the
others) to 6.1.7 (so far no box has made it w/o a reboot yet).
