Another thing to watch out for is hot spots in clustered (i.e. rack mounted) equipment. A perfectly acceptable rack enclosure can be rendered deadly to equipment by blocked inlets/outlets, bad cable routing, dead or dieing fans, overloading the rated head load, etc. If you can, a simple thermometer placed in various locations in the rack can help check for hot spots. ----------------------------------------- My biggest problem, well one of my problems, is that my air conditioner doesn't circulate the air throughout the room too well. It's a Mr. Slim wall mounted A/C unit but I have to use fans to blow the cold air to the other side of the room. Right now, I'm pricing out a new A/C unit now that will dump cold air on all areas of the room. We'll keep the Mr. Slim as a backup. BTW, our server room is only 13x20. Small but functional.
