[Cialug] Slightly OT: Server Room Temperature

[Jonathan C. Bailey]

Hmm... Our problem is that we normally keep server rooms at about 70-75F. We have one room without HVAC that is at 80+F on a regular basis, but the person responsible for that building is dragging their feet on installing A/C. I'm looking for a "this is the limit". I bet once the heat gets turned on tonight, we might actually hit 90F in there.

40C room temperature is enough to cause a disk to fail.
