SUMMARY: Sunfire V210 PSU failures

Hello, and thanks to all who replied.

I received eight replies to this, and seven of them reported the same 
problem on several V210's (no V240's). One person who had 5 V210's has 
had no problems whatsoever.
One person said there was a FIN coming out on this problem.

No one has had any problems with the replacement units.
It seems that there was a bad batch on these PSU's.

So, if you have a lot of older V210's, it could be a good idea to have a 
relpacement PSU handy if you have a doubt on your server room's air 
conditioning.
It took almost a week for Sun to replace this part because they were out 
of supply in Europe, which made me a bit nervous, as it was the first 
time it has taken them more than 24 h to react. They took the time to 
inform me in real time of the availability, though.

The PSU worked fine all that time without the fan, but my server room 
has good air conditioning.

Cheers
