Thursday 10/14/2004 at 3:30am PDT (-0700), I will be taking the server down for maybe 20-30 minutes to replace the heatsink and fan. The one in there isn't really all that well suited to being in a 2U case, and has caused some problems as of late, so it's time to swap it out with something more suited to the role, and a bit shorter.
And for the curious, here's what the server looks like: http://trolans.net/gallery/general/DSC00341

HS/Fan update all completed, no problems. Used a bit of the time I gave myself to let it cool down... darn thing was toasty. As it is, after it's been in there a bit, I'm seeing about 30F cooler temps from the CPU monitor. I'm happy.
http://trolans.net/moblog.php?id=21 for the pic of the guts w/the old sink. New one is about 1/2" shorter and doesn't ride right below the case lid.
Trolan:
The server will be down from about 3-5am PDT 8/16/08.
I'm doing what is effectively a clean install of FreeBSD 7.0 on new mirrored 1TB drives. I've built it on another box I have, and will be copying over user data only to the new drives and then installing those. Makes for a good excuse to clear out the old crud. The existing 300GB mirrors have been in continuous service for more than 3 years, so it's time to swap 'em out.
