actually its next to one of our directors offices,when in his office there is a humming noise form the UPS Under load etc. You can also here the UPS Fans as you walk past aswell. Noise is ok at the moment.

Yes, i carnt agree more, personally this room is the heart of the network, it already has vents to outside but like you say, i am also concerned to with condensation, in the next couple of months the room will be hosting a VoIP telephone system for approximately 170 users. ill see what temps come back as and see if i can get air con fitted.

Brilliant stuff, the room did have a thermometer fitted showing -15oC Haha, ive replaced this and going to leave it over night, ill post back soon with my results

At work we have a room with a Comms cab half full with switches. Also in the room we have a UPS to power a whole office block. My concern is that during summer and warmer days the room does seem to get extremely hot! so hot you cannot be stood in it with a tie on ! The room was also used for storage, i have emptied the room so all that stands inside now is the equipment (To reduce Temp), were looking at upgrading our Norstar phone system to VOIP too, This will be located in the same room. Main concern is the temperature of the room, what would be the possible options of keeping it at a cool temperature and is there any chance of the equipment getting damaged from heat ? Our Server room is located in a different room, this has a air con fitted running 24/7 and stays really cool. Also is there any preventative maintanance i should carry out on comms cabs ? UPS ? Many thanks
