Summer is coming, and you know what that means, right? Nothing kills electronic components faster than heat. For every 18°F above 70°F, it’s estimated that long-term electronic reliability is reduced by half.
The best practice is to keep your rack room at or below 70°F to maintain sufficient airflow around critical components. You can use SNMP diagnostics to keep an eye on components and other changes. SNMP is built into many network elements, including our I/O Blades.
If you discover a heat problem in the racks, you can try spacing out equipment with blank panels between them for better airflow. If things are really heating up, one temporary solution is to remove the ceiling tiles above the racks so heat can move farther up and away from equipment.
