Server is hot......and smelly

[shiner]

For those of you who don't know....I manage the server engineering team where I work.

Well.....I get emailed if any high or urgent priority helpdesk tickets get assigned to my team. I just got a notification of a high ticket and the description the helpdesk put in is "Server is hot......and smelly."

Wow....thanks for the detail guys!!!!

Sounds like someone shoved a chunk of limburger into one of the intake fans.

update..........the suspense is killing me 😉

Sounds like maybe some component is getting too hot, and a wire is resting on it. I've had that happen once or twice. The smell of burnt plastic is "smelly" indeed. heh.

:beer:

Update needed. I must know if you have bathed and dried the server!

i bet somethign is burning...electrical components have a very distnct smell when they burn, solder is one giveaway.

That's what I was thinking.
