Hi

I was wondering if someone could tell me if it's bad for the 
hardware of a sequent balance if the power goes down for some
seconds or a few minutes.

The system automatically reboots and everything seems fine, but my
collegue says the harware suffers from it, especially the disks.

Will the machine last less long if the power goes off 4 times a year ?
