Re: [Declude.Virus] OT - Server Room Temperature

[Doug Traylor]

We just looked at the operating spec of our servers from the Manufacturer's (Dell) website.  The max is listed as 95* F and we run around 80* F during the day on weekdays and up to 92* F on the weekends when they turn off the AC in the plant.  We have our own AC which runs 24/7 in the computer room/closet.  So far we have not had any noticeable system problems in the five years we have been operating this way.    When we had a large IBM mainframe with all the dressing, we kept it in a large computer room that was kept at a chilly 66* F.  I was a computer operator then and worked in there for 8-12 hours a day.  I would wear two shirts and longs sleeves to work, even when it was 110* F outside - Texas.   Doug   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff To: Declude.Virus@declude.com Sent: Thursday, August 11, 2005 8:58 AM Subject: [Declude.Virus] OT - Server Room Temperature Can someone point me to a source of information regarding what temperature a server room should be at ?   Thank you.
