Both the e4500 and the v1280 are rated up to 104F,
so they're probably OK.
As to the disk arrays, if they work OK I'd be amazed
that the data is not correct; after all, there's a
significant amount of redundancy and error checking
on modern disks. That being said, you might experience
an increased failure rate on the drives in the coming
months.
I'd keep a close eye on the system logs for a
while as well.

Take care,
