Monitoring Temperature And Humidity Inside The Server Rack


The increased utilization of blade servers has caused the control of heat and humidity in the server racks to become much more critical than previously. These units increase the density of the equipment in each rack and therefore the heat generated. Alarms are necessary at the rack level because a single server overheating will not raise the ambient room temperature enough to set off the room alarm sensors. These rack alarms can provide early problem warning and prevent server damage and the associated network problems in a timely fashion.

These alarms can be at the rack, or by email, or by SNMP traps, or by all three methods depending on the system. There are several different types of sensor systems from several different manufacturers, available at present. One of them is a compact environmental monitor with one onboard temperature sensor and in addition the ability to support up to 16 remote sensors. The system is very small so you don't have to change your system. If you receive a problem alert, you are able to identify the rack and power strip having the trouble, and turn off the individual outlet or reboot it.

Another power management and control system available is able to track temperature, humidity, airflow, and water at various locations from 15 to 100 feet away. This system needs only limited rack space and can control individual power receptacles. Another system on the market utilizes two sensor probes in each rack, one in front, one in back, to better measure the environment in the rack. This gives you a thermographic view of the temperature range in the rack and can be displayed in color for all the different racks in the computer center. This information can be used to determine the size and location of any additional A.C. or fans or blowers needed to correct a cooling system. It can also assist in the rearrangement, if necessary, of the rack layout and separation of a cold aisle/hot aisle system or any rack system, or when additional racks are added to a functioning system.

The control of heat generation and temperature in the data center continues to be one of the most critical areas. The monitoring of the environment has gone from the room, to the zone, to inside the individual server rack to give a much more precise picture of what is happening and allow better response to emergency conditions.

Server Room Monitoring of Environmental Conditions Reduces the Risk of Cataclysmic Failure


Whatever line of business an organization is in environmental monitoring of the server room and IT equipment is an absolute must to ensure business continuity. Environmental conditions that cause the breakdown of a network can cost an organization large amounts of lost revenue and impaired business performance. Businesses rely more and more on their IT and communications infrastructure making any loss of data or network downtime catastrophic for them. Providing conditions that are as stable as possible helps to ensure continuity and reliability.

Effective monitoring of some key conditions, temperature, humidity and water leakage, together with an alerting system will enable the IT department to keep networks operational, avoid intermittent problems and hopefully steer clear of the major failures that can occur if environmental conditions deteriorate undetected.

Temperature monitoring in computer rooms and server rooms

Racks and servers tend to operate more efficiently when they're cool. Running at temperatures too high can cause network downtime or can create a situation where there is intermittent unreliability of equipment. Although all servers come with internal cooling fans these will not be sufficient to keep the temperature down in data centers and rack rooms. Modern computers, servers and routers create a huge amount of heat.

Air conditioning units are necessary to maintain temperatures at a level where equipment can work efficiently. Temperature sensors should be positioned at various locations throughout the data room to ensure that there aren't problem areas or hotspots, for instance, behind equipment. Combined with an effective alerting system the temperature sensors will notify the necessary staff if temperatures vary outside a set range.

Humidity sensors within server and IT rooms

Humidity within an IT environment can be incredibly damaging. If humidity is too low then static can build up and static discharge becomes a major issue. Alternatively high humidity can lead to the formation of condensation which can cause electrical failures and corrosion. Maintaining both temperature and humidity within satisfactory confines is crucial to business continuity.

Water leak detection within server rooms

In the process of cooling the air in the room, air conditioning units collect water and therefore have the potential to create water leaks or spills. It's a good idea to have these kept well away from the servers and to have water leak detectors nearby.

To ensure reliability and efficiency of data centers, environmental conditions must be monitored. The installation of independent monitoring equipment for temperature, humidity and water leaks coupled with efficient alerting facilities will significantly reduce the risk of IT failure. Failing to install such a system can lead to catastrophic breakdowns with huge losses in business productivity.

Server Rack Monitoring For Temperature and Humidity Control


The server rack is being increasingly used these days to offer safe and manageable work environment. Now that servers have been reduced in size, techs can put many more in each server rack resulting in a tremendous heat load. This heat can build up fast creating a heat zone that can cause servers to shut down unexpectedly. One way to avoid this is have a system in place that monitors heat and humidity.

In order tackle this problem, server rack manufacturers have come up with sensors that come equipped with alarms. This is to ensure that the temperature in the server room does not rise above the danger level. These sensors can be built in to rackmount powerstrips or as a separate unit within the server racks. Depending on the sensors, users can be notified by alarm or anywhere in the world via email about heat and humidity factors. Bottom line, these type sensors can help prevent server damage and associated network problems.

These environmental sensors range from email alerts to indicator lights that blink as soon as the temperature reaches a preset level. This depends on the type of racks as well as individual manufacturers and user preference. It is also possible they can be customized per your specifications.

The advantage to having environmental sensors in your rack is instant notification that can allow you to shut down or cool down a server before major damage is done. Sensors that are part of Ethernet rackmount powerstrips can be accessed remotely for instant access to the problem.

Nowadays, there are varieties that also manage airflow and water at various locations, apart from controlling temperature and humidity. Most of these sensors are small and take up very little room in a rack cabinet.

With such mind boggling wide variety of options available in the market, it is really up to you as to which sensor alarm variety you would like to go for in your server rack. But whatever you choose, it is important to incorporate one of them to respond as fast as possible in an emergency situation.

Features of Good Server Rack and Computer Server Racks


It is common for management in a smaller company to OK new servers and somehow forget they need to go somewhere. We get frantic calls daily from customers saying they need a server rack or cabinet for their new hardware.

This is where things can get a bit dicey. Many of today's servers are blade servers and they can be from 29-42 inches deep. They also run hot and are very noisy. One Network Manager said he thought he was sitting on the wing of a propeller driven plane it was so loud!

Since blade servers pull air from the front and blow it out the back, a quality server rack cabinet will require special venting for air flow. If you need a secure cabinet, the front and rear doors should be mesh or perforated. This allows you to lock the doors and still be able to see your hardware. Depending on your room, you may also want to install a fan for extra air movement. Many servers use mounting brackets that have a flange that fits in a square hole on the rackrails of a cabinet or rack. It is imperative that the cabinet you choose have this type of rackrail.

There are other types of server racks referred to as 4-post server racks. In most cases, they are a frame that has 2-sets of vertical square holed rackrails that adjust in depth. Some of the better 4-post racks can adjust from 26-42 inches deep. This is a very functional low cost way to put your hardware on.

Some Key things to consider when choosing a server rack are:

Depth of hardware including depth of cables attached
Do you need an open rack or enclosed locking cabinet
Is noise a concern for the location
Will you need a fan
Do you need blank panels to help direct airflow
Will you have special cabling applications
What type powerstrip, PDU, do you need
What is the ambient temperature for location
Do you need any temperature or humidity sensors
Will you be using a keyboard, monitor or KVM

As you can see, there are a lot of considerations to choosing the best server rack for your applications. A quality rack or cabinet can accommodate the above considerations. That being said, one of the biggest mistakes is buying a server rack cabinet that is not deep enough.

Server Room Environmental Monitoring


Server room environmental monitoring is an often overlooked but important part of facilities management. If your building hosts a data center, installing a proper server room temperature monitoring system can dramatically increase your energy efficiency. There are now high tech IT sensors available that can accurately monitor the room temperature. The data from the server system can be integrated with the data center's air handler controls through the building's IT network.

Maintaining proper temperature and humidity control is essential to the functioning of any computer room or data center. High temperatures or humidity levels can shorten the life cycle of expensive equipment and can cause downtime or even failure of critical network systems. A temperature monitoring system can help you to reduce your energy costs as well as avoid emergency repairs.

Server Room Temperature Monitoring

Most data center cooling systems use direct-expansion refrigeration cooling coils or air handlers with chilled water cooling coils. These systems generally monitor the temperature using return air temperature sensors to adjust the air temperature supplied to the sever room. This is not the most effective method for monitoring because of the location of the sensors. A more accurate method of temperature monitoring would be to use front-panel, inlet temperature sensor data.

How to Best Monitor Server Room Temperature

Computer servers can now take data provided from your server cooling environmental monitoring system and send it to your facility management system. The facilities management system can then determine operating set points for the data center cooling system. This can help to greatly reduce your energy consumption.
