Chill Those ServersOverheating-related failures are one of the most common, expensive and avoidable causes of server problems. Our latest TechBuilder recipe examines designing server systems for optimal cooling and airflow: "The forced-convection cooling system uses air as its heat-transfer medium. All you need to focus on is moving the heat out of the system by exchanging the air inside the computer (the hot air) with the air outside the computer (the cool air)... The more air you can move across those system boundaries, the cooler you can keep the computer." Posted by Joe Caponi at 12:12 PM, January 8, 2007 This is a public forum.
