Temperature levels within a server room must be kept within a certain range to ensure overheating does not occur. The ideal temperature range in a server room should be between 68°F (20°C) and 71°F (21.66°C). This can be accomplished by running an air conditioning system, and also by keeping a cooling duct system in place. By installing NCD’s Iot Wireless Temperature Humidity Sensors, the user can be notified if and when the temperature reaches an unsafe level for equipment.
Humidity levels within a server room are especially important to keep within a certain range to prevent corrosion due to an overabundance of condensation. Humidity levels are recommended to be kept between 40%-60% relative humidity (rH.) Keeping levels at this range will extend the life of the server equipment.
Keep in mind, these levels are all relative to your specific server room. The recommended temperature and humidity levels may change with variables such as room size, positioning of racks within a room, closeness to a door that may open and close throughout the day, distance from any HVAC unit within a building, size of racks, and much more. It’s very important to know your specific server room and temperature and humidity levels it requires to run smoothly.
