In today's news there was a fire in Marda Loop that was started by a computer wire over heating. I know that many people on the list have servers at home running 24/7. My question is what messures can be done to increase the safety of servers. Things that I've done, (as well as everyone should do,) is: - Make sure that the server is not sitting on the bare floor in case of flooding, (my servers are in the basement.) - The computers are far enough apart that the computers would not fed off each other's heat. - Monitors are turned off. - Another is not having various debris sitting on the computer, the monitor or preventing ventilation to the systems. - Things that could be done, (but not for a server,) is turning off the computer when not in use. - Not having octopii electrical outlets, (having over a dozen computers fed by a single outlet would not be very safe.) What other messures can be taken to increase the safety of unattended computing? _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
