With colder weather due to arrive, ‘tis the season when building managers convert from central air conditioning to heating. Make sure to consider your data center as you make the switch this fall. A few simple precautions can help to protect servers and other critical equipment from overheating!
-
Close off any vents to the data center so that heat from the building cannot enter the area.
-
Re-evaluate your data center cooling requirements now that supplemental A/C from the building is no longer available. If you have a specialized cooling system, service and adjust controls as needed.
-
If your data center does not have a dedicated cooling system, if you have installed more equipment in the room, or if you simply want emergency A/C backup, portable cooling offers an efficient and cost-effective solution. Portable or “spot” coolers can be installed temporarily or permanently, rented or purchased, and easily moved to accommodate design changes or increased heat loads.
