I'll assume that was for Paul, not me.
In any case, the 100+ degrees we saw during enviro failures were as
reported thru Insight Mangler, which is indeed the internal chassis
temp... often 20 degrees higher then ambient...

Even if you keep the room in the mid 70's you should get a reading
right
next to the servers in the rack you will see about a 15 to 20 degrees
difference. Tell your boss it is like running a temperature yourself.
You
can survive and function at 104 degrees but you are miserable, you
don't
give accurate information, and you are sluggish. You could possible
slip
into a coma if your temp goes up a degree or two and you could lose
brain
function and memory loss. If that is what he wants by saving a few
dollars
then yeah raise. Hell shut it off and hope the internal fans keep it
cool
enough. If the AC is pulling to much power maybe a wiser approach is
to get
an energy efficient AC unit...
Just my thoughts.
