Tony - Re:"Sun is "supposed" to be there according to McNeally, but they aren't. The "nines" are used, where five nines means 99.999% up time," For a little perspective, a Sun failure every 40 hours is just barely 3 nines, if the system is back on line in 2 minutes. I suspect it takes longer that to get the system running. Particularly if you have to change the filters <g>
