IT Management during Heat Wave

Quick Tip: Even a few degrees of extra heat can shorten your server’s lifespan. Regular checks during extreme weather can prevent unexpected outages.
Monitor Room Temperature: Ensure it's within the recommended range for your equipment.

• Check Server Fans: Listen for excessive noise or high-speed spinning.

• Inspect Airflow: Confirm that vents and cooling paths are clear of obstructions.

• Evaluate Cooling Systems: Verify that AC units and backup cooling are functioning properly.

• Listen for Unusual Noises: Increased noise can signal overheating or hardware stress.

• Review Temperature Monitoring Tools: Ensure alerts are configured for temperature thresholds.

• Schedule a Professional Inspection: If unsure, consult your IT department or a specialist.
