For any of the techies interested in what happened on Friday:

I visited the failed server today, and oddly enough found it powered up.  It was completely dead though, and a forced power cycle was required.  Oddly, the machine is now taking over 5 minutes to do it’s power on self test, so that warrants some further investigation.  As I also found a certain module not loading properly, we’ve upgraded the system to the latest Kernel, and the system seems to be happier now, we will keep an eye on it.
