    pls help



    Hello All...
    I just have responsible to maintain a small server room and the servers inside, and manage its temperature too... i am very new in refrigeration

    my question,
    1. what is the recommended temperature range for server room / data center? could the members/experts here advice the refferral/the standards link too?

    2. i monitored temperature there...
    is it good if the lower temperature and lower humidity?
    --- or lower temperature and higher humidity?

    3.
    --- or is it still okay if the temperature higher and humidity higher
    --- or is it dangerous if the temperature higher and humidity lower?

    thank you in advance and this wonderful forum....

    Normally 21degC with return around 23 - 23.5 and high airflo. The humidity is very important 50% RH to minimise static electricity. This is my experience on mainly bigger Data storage facilities.

    The supplier of the server equipment should provide you with the requirements of his equipment; you shouldn't have to guess, it isn't fair on you.

    Most server rooms are kept too cold.

    RH needs to be at least 50%.

    Low humidity equals poor cooling capability.

    A recommended environment
    range of 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F) (dry-bulb temperature) and a relative humidity
    (RH) range of 40% to 55%. ( Ashrae)

    But still you should go through the data sheet of the I.T Equipment and their respective air flows.

    High RH leads to condensation and Low RH leads to Static Charges.
