Heat produced by Server Farms 1

[ljdjr]

I am trying to find out

1. How much heat is generated by these server farms (or large rooms of servers) and;

2. How that heat is taken out of the rooms, and;

3. Any idea as to what the temperature is (Fahrenheit) that is removed from the room?

Thanks

Larry
