Heatwaves lead to hardware failures

So for our Vancouver heatwave (I noted 39C away from the water today, in the shade!), it's finally claimed some of my computer hardware. Most annoying, the battery backup unit (BBU) in the newer fileserver, and 1.5 of the disks of the RAID1 array in the old server...
My website and personal email will be offline for a day or two while I ensure my backups are up to date, and redeploy to the newer fileserver (after I buy a new BBU tomorrow).

It's gone into periodic-spontaneous-shutdown mode, although as long as I keep the dehumidifier running it seems to be mostly ok. We really need to replace that power supply, but there's never enough time...
