It might have. Disk boards and CPU / memory boards get hot *with* the
fans. Might even make the board above it fail...

Wouldn't cfgadm -al show that slot as unavailable to begin with? I
know it does on my e5000:

sysctrl0:slot5                 unknown      empty        unconfigured
unusable
sysctrl0:slot7                 unknown      empty        unconfigured
unusable

I currently dont have a psu for slot5/7 so it is showing the status as
unusable. The moment I put a cooling/power module, they become
available.
