Dell PowerEdge 1950

While the server was running I pulled it out of the rack, just to check what kind of memory modules are in there. The second I opened the cover, all the fans started blowing. The server was ON the whole time, and I did not accidentally unplug the power to cause a restart. I put everything back into place, and they are still blowing on full blast for the past 15 min. Any ideas. Here are 2 system event logs. This is an SQL Database server, so I don't want to restart it.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your expertise. Checked out the Dell Server Administrator software. It said that an intrusion was detected, but that was probably me opening the server cover while the server was running. Either way, I think all returned to normal. Either that or I can no longer tell the difference between how loud the fans use to be and how loud they are now. Maybe I adjusted to the sound.

Thanks for your help.
