Operating temperature for server room
I am looking for a max temperature a computer room should be. I have 4 Poweredge 2650 servers, Powerconnect 3024, and 2016, a cisco router, and Nokia firewall. It seems a little warm in the room, and before I'm aloud to upgrade my air cooling, I need some type of proof or document that states what the temperature should be. Can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance,
Darren

Hi,
A lot depends on the size of your server room, but if I can use one of our office server rooms as an example, then for a 3 metres by 4 metres room with a floor to ceiling height of about 2 metres (the room has artificial flooring to hold the cables and false ceiling for efficient cooling), you would require the room temperature to be anything between 14 to 18 degrees Celcius. At least this kind of cooling works for our server room which has 5 server machines, the broadband internet router and a network rack running 24X7. In the hot summer days, when outside temperatures hover at around 40 degrees celcius, we keep the cooler wind speed at its highest point and the temperature setting at around 14 degrees celcius. We have not faced any problem so far with this setup.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ani.
