Long term issuses with WAY overheated server room

My server room spent at least 24 hours at 120 degrees plus.  The smell of burnt electronics still looms 24 hours after repair.

All systems came back on and are currently running but some still have that electronic burn smell to them.

Most of my servers are all 2U Dell servers ranging from the 2550 series to the 2950 series.  I do have four blade servers, the 1955 models.  (I do actually think it was the blade box that may have saved all of my servers.  It had the back of the server rack around 20 degrees cooler than the rest of the room.)

I have many HP switches, a cymphonix box and barracuda.  The cymphonix and barracuda smell the worst.

I have an APC Environment monitor but somewhere along the way it stopped working.

Anything I should worry about or look out for specifically?

Thanks.

I guess it all depends on what you might consider "fast" for cooling.  The AC was busted so it took about three hours to get the room down to 80 degrees.

I think most of my servers have dual power supply... I hope.  I will check that right now.

Thanks for the thoughts.

Sorry, forgot to mention...
If the HVAC system went belly up, you may also be smelling burnt wire or burnt compressor from that.
