Depends on where the temperature sensors are? If we're talking about colocation type cabinets with front-to-rear airflow, and mesh doors on both ends, air intake temperature should be around 20C on the intake side.
Or open two-post/relay racks in a room? Hot aisle/cold aisle separated, or everything together in one space? The key metric is air intake temperature, most routers have a separate SNMP OID for intake temperature where there is a small diode near the air intake vents. Same with better servers, there's an air intake sensor on Dells and others near the front intake fans. http://en.community.dell.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/956/Fan2.PNG On Wed, May 11, 2016 at 1:37 PM, Josh Luthman <[email protected]> wrote: > Just curious what the ideal temp is for a data center.
