Rack Cooling
Efficiency Task List
>100° F (>37.8° C)
•	High risk of damage and downtime
•	May invalidate equipment warranty
90° to 100° F (32.2° to 37.8° C)
•	Risk of damage and downtime
•	Short bursts (seconds to minutes)
may be acceptable, depending on
availability goals
80.6° to 90° F (27° to 32.2° C)
•	Within the “allowable” range
•	Okay for brief periods (hours to days)
•	Longer periods may compromise
equipment life
77.1° to 80.6° F (25.1° to 27° C)
•	IT equipment operates reliably
•	Equipment fans use more electricity,
negating other efficiency gains
77° F (25° C)
•	Ideal temperature for IT equipment
•	Both highly reliable and highly
efficient
64.4° to 76.9° F (18° to 24.9° C)
•	IT equipment operates reliably
•	As temperature drops, efficiency
drops
•	Costs increase without added
benefits
<64.4° F (<18° C)
•	Same as above, but even more
inefficient
•	May require costly make-up
humidification
Intake Air Temperature
