We use Lithium for network monitoring. For Xserves, by default it throws an alert when the PSU temperature goes above 65°C. Lately, we've been getting multiple alerts a day with the temperature briefly spiking to ~70°C. The average temp is ~55°C.

Lithium has a tendency to be very "cautious" with default trigger values. Are the temperatures I'm seeing truly an issue, or are they within an acceptable range for Xserve PSUs?

According to the apple xserver tech page http://www.apple.com/xserve/specs.html

Operating temperature: 50° to 95° F (10° to 35° C)

should be this.

70 degress celcius is around 158 F (ty google) so I would say your server is starting to cook a little. Is the server in an AC enviornment, if not I recommend you put it there. rack mounted servers (and their hard drives) don't like warm enviorments really well.
