We had an older Proliant (now retired) that was always the first to shut down when the AC went down, and would do so at 90 degrees. We now have HP Integrity servers that will shut down somewhere between 90 to maybe 95 degrees (not that far off from your 100).

They're not properly rackmounted - due to our crappy and proprietary Panduit racks we have no choice but to use shelves - which may have helped them survive. Don't be surprised if you get warranty rejections from the excessive heat.
