9 Steps You Must Know To Prevent A Server Crash

To be sure that this...

Never happens to you, be sure to heed the following tips: 

1) Tidy up the server room; a 

neater room will increase air 

flow.

2) If you have more than one 

server, arrange them in a row 

so that the cold air comes 

from the front and is expelled 

out the back.

3) Keep the doors to the server 

room closed and seal off the 

space.

4) Make sure cold air reaches all 

the equipment

5) Have a redundant A/C that is 

specifically designed for 

computers.

6) Buy a rack enclosure where 

the cooling is built in to the 

bottom of the rack.

7) Keep the temperature at no 

more than 77 degrees.

8) Use blanking panels over any 

empty spaces on your server 

rack.

9) Consider virtualization or 

hosting in a cloud 

environment so you are 

generating a lower amount of 

heat in the first place
