[ale] Failed drives on SuperMicro server backplane

[Jeff Hubbs]

Like I wouldn't realize that.  :) 

I *do* have spares - mobo, RAM, SATA and SAS cards, Ethernet cards, 
power supplies, disk drives...and I even have a spare chassis up and 
running minus the main system's two big drive arrays.  But they're in a 
small server room with over 10kVA of systems in it and there is only one 
HVAC system.  If it dies, the temp goes up to something on the order of 
110F.
