Temperature Requirements for Power and Communication Equipment Rooms
Most IT equipment manufacturers specify an optimal operating temperature range, usually between 20 and 25 degrees celsius (68 and 77 degrees Fahrenheit). Operating within this range ensures that the equipment performs at its best and reduces the risk of overheating-related issues. Special thanks also to Dave Kelley (Emerson), Paul Artman (Lenovo), John Groenewold (Chase), William Brodsky (IBM). The technologies supporting the deployment of IP telephony, wireless networking, converged applications, and other equipment outside traditional IT data storage and management are finding their way into no traditional spaces that weren't. Upon completion of the installation, a third party field verification firm will independently verify. Actual air handling requirements may exceed these guidelines and should be calculated based on potential heating and cooling demand associated with equipment which may be present in the telecommunications entrance room, including, but not limited to: uninterruptible power supplies.
