Heat dissapated from servers
Heat dissapated from servers
(OP)
i would like to know the heat dissapated from servers, plotters, CPU's, ect. normally found in Computer rooms.
I found a blurb in a HP website that says "the total wattage input is eventually dissapated in heat", but when i call the CRAC unit vendors such as Liebert, they say the total wattage is not used as heat. which is correct?

The type of computing being done has a great influence on the percent utilization of the servers. Some operate in a batch processing mode where they are nearly idle for most of the day, then running flat out for a couple hours. IT people can give you this info, but you have to design for the peak no matter what. If you press the IT people, they will give you a room temperature band that is acceptable, make full use of it!
