Hi All,
I am sure this isnt the appropriate place to post this, but I found nothing better for my question.
I am new to Racks, and I am tasked to move one of our office's servers in a rack.
The problem is that in this office the servers are in a common area, where people walk by, etc. The servers were just below a desk, and they got really dusty all the time, etc.
We purchased a rack, a 42U high one with 800x960 dimensions. All the 4 servers, switches, monitor and other minor equipment fit nicely.
The rooms temperature is controlled by an air-conditioner, and is constantly at 20celsius, however as the rack is closed, the temperature inside goes to 30-32celsius. It has a fan on the top, with a temp-sensor, and I set it to start spinning at 25Celsius, which means its constantly spinning, as the temperature is above that.
What shall I do? If I open the cabinet, the temperature will drop, but again, It will start to dust up, etc.
Thanks, any suggestions are welcome,
Ben
