[cobalt-developers] CPU Temperature Raq 550

[Skyhound Internet <tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a new 550 and several times a day I get the Active Monitor going off 
and e-mailing me telling me:

One or more system components is running dangerously hot. One of the system 
fans may have failed. Please check that the system has adequate ventilation 
and that all fans are operating correctly.

According to the GUI, all the fans are OK.

What is the threshold on a 550 that triggers this alarm? What is a CPU 
temperature that's too hot? Could it be another component besides the CPU?

I've had it alert me at 38 degrees, 36 degrees, and 42 degrees Celsius for 
CPU.  However, a later "normal" temperature has shown up at 41 degrees for 
the CPU.

Is there just something wrong with the monitoring for this device?  The 
load average is just 0.10.

My Raq4's are operating at 34 and 38 degrees, and no alerts from them.

The ambient temperature is usually reported at around 32 degrees. The new 
colo center could be a bit cooler, that's one thing I've noticed, but with 
weird alerts like this, I'm starting to suspect the sensor more than anything.

Thanks for any ideas.
