The fan noise is incredible. But the computer room isn't as cold as I'd like it. They're writing down daily morning and afternoon temp readings on a whiteboard and I noticed it tends to be around 76 degrees.

The doors on the cabinet are wide open because we've got so many high-BTU machines in there and I just don't trust the cabinet's own ventilation system.

Mainframes are kept airconditioned. You guys may be getting there.


edit: isn't it cold outdoors in Boogerville right now? Maybe opening the windows would help.

FYI - When employed by the DOD I was responsible for keeping their mainframe periphals clean. The room the mainframe was kept in was a "Clean Room" that was kept at a temperature of 50 degrees F. This was back in 1985.

Looks like I'd better keep an eye on the CPU temperatures in the database server.
