Does the fan work? (Can you feel air being blown out the back
when you turn it on?)

Is the box clogged with housedust? Ours tend to accumulate cat
hair and dust with a few years of continuous operation.

There are some software packages out there which will report the
temperature that at lest some of the drives sense.

Note that I am not running it as a stripe, but rather as
individual filesystems under Solaris 10, which may have some impact on
things.

Good Luck,
DoN.
