SolutionAs a minimum, put a thermostatic power breaker in the room that drops all power when the temperature goes above 95 deg F. Then tell your management (in writing) what the dollar amount will be to replace 100% of *ALL* the equipment if the air conditioning fails. I have personally witnessed a couple of computer rooms that lost air conditioning while the equipment continued to run. The interior temperature went off the scale (way over 150 deg F) until power supplies blew up. One of the rooms cost $250,000 US to replace all the equipment due to a lousy air conditioning design. Naturally, all this happened on the weekend when no one was there.

Re: Optimal Operating temp/enviorment?
For example, here is the temp spec for an model rp8420-32 9000:
"Operating +41├В┬░ to +95├В┬░ F (+5├В┬░ to +35├В┬░ C)"
These ranges can be model specific. If you search docs.hp.com with the model number, you may find specs in user manuals, etc.
Even with these ranges, I would bet that the equipment will age faster / fail sooner towards the upper limits.
Make sure OnlineDiag software is installed. You will get alerts as the room gets hot. Machines should power themselves down if the temp gets t

They will give precise information for each server type.

Re: Optimal Operating temp/enviorment?
My simple ole country boy rule of thumb is
If I'm uncomfortable in the data center, well by gosh so are the systems. Very simple rule - but it works.
My 2 cents,

Re: Optimal Operating temp/enviorment?
Thank you for your responses. As an IT Professional for 11 years I understand what we would consider common sense on ambient room temperature. Anything over 75 F would be unacceptable to me. I will comb through the links from Mr. Donovan and try to find a hard document stating the max-recommended temp. This is a no-brainer to me, but management works in hard written facts, unless it suits them not to.
Thanks Again
