It had some occasional water issues, but nothing like 6", and he'd put in a pump. The servers seemed OK there for a while, but then they developed stability issues, which I traced back to some kind of slight corrosion on either the DIMM sockets or the DIMMs. <div><br></div><div>This happened to several machines, and did not happen to other, similar machines that were not in the basement. The machines weren't on the floor and there is no indication they got wet, so I assume the problem was high humidity.
