Title: Re: [Full-Disclosure] DELL 1600 and 1650 potential fire risk

Thanks for that John. That looks like it. Although from what the techies I have spoken to have said, it is a bit more serious than what that article says. They were saying that the whole unit is basically rat-sh*t afterwards.   They stressed that the hard-drives went as well, so make sure backups were pretty frequent.   I don't know, mabey if the techs were actually from Dell, they would be a bit more responsive.......lol   Chris   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 16 March 2004 8:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Full-Disclosure] DELL 1600 and 1650 potential fire risk Cael has a point.. :-) A quick google gives this:   http://www.infoworld.com/article/04/01/21/HNdellfixes_1.html   ...which may be what you're looking for.   John. -----Original Message----- From: Cael Abal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tue 16/03/2004 06:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: Re: [Full-Disclosure] DELL 1600 and 1650 potential fire risk Chris Cozad wrote: > Has anyone experienced any of the supposed problems with the Dell 1600 > and 1650 servers?

Hi Chris, Personally, if my office and everyone in it was conceivably in peril of imminent destruction by raging inferno I don't think I'd let my account rep 'gloss over' the problem. Do you not like your co-workers?  :) Take care, Cael _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
