Someone I talked to while on scene today said their area got to 130 and cooked two core routers.

Let's say that hypothetically, a datacenter you're in had a cooling failure and escalated to an average of 120 degrees before mitigations started having an effect. What are normal QA procedures on your behalf? What is the facility likely to be doing? What should be expected in the aftermath?
