After about 2 minutes, the fans started ramping-up speed.

Also wouldn't rule out overheating just yet. Could be worth trying the test again with the case open if you have time. Check see whether all the fans are spinning properly, heatsinks mounted firmly and not covered in dust.


Fans ramping up speed would indicate a kernel panic, certainly in the xserves I have. There was nasty bug we had that caused a kernel panic on both the main and backup metadata controllers every time we created a directory on an Xsan volume over NFS. Much hilarity was had by all when this happened 5 minutes before a news bulletin....
