Dell 2950 power supplies failed

My 2950 powered off randomly early this morning.  Below are the logs from the DRAC board.  It's installed in a rack at a datacenter with redundant power, generators, and cooling.  No reports of other power outages occurred.  I also have other servers plugged into the same power strip.  I'll confirm that.. But...  I'm 99% sure they are in the same strip.  I find it suspicious that both power supplies failed back to back like noted below.  The 3 x errors are on the server display.  E1624, E1614, and E161C.

Is the server connected to a UPS?
Have you confirmed that the UPS is not faulty, I doubt that both PSU units are failing at the same time.

I also agree with Seth have a look at the mainboard and sensors..
