Alarm Handling

Cluster Room Alarm Handling

The cluster room (822) gets hot when the air-conditioning stops working. This normally happens because the chilled water supply gets cut off. There are two high temperature alarms in the room:

1. The alarm on the air-conditioning unit (long continuous whine)
2. The alarm for the room (red flashing light + sound)

If one of the alarms sounds please do the following:

1. Mute the alarm
2. Ring someone who is able to shut down the servers: Matt (0424 037 005), Roy (0432 375 635). If they cannot be contacted or if they are unable to shut down the servers remotely, then enter the room and press for 1 sec the power buttons Template:Icon-power-button.gif on each of the computers in the racks. This should trigger an automatic shutdown within. If some machines are still powered on after 5 mins, then hold down the power buttons on those machines until they turn off (usually about 5-10 sec).
3. If you cannot get access to the room, call security on 51234.

In the event that there is no-one to turn off the machines, the power to the room will automatically be cut off if it gets too hot (>35 ºC)
