SERVER OVERHEATING
IT PROFESSIONALS AND ENGINEERS ARE FAMILIAR WITH
OVERHEATING ISSUES IN IT infrastructure hardware
like server, storage, and networking products.
Overheating a server is a serious issue to deal
with urgently. Every IT hardware system has
inbuilt fans to avoid overheating of IT hardware
products. For most of the servers and networks,
only fans not sufficient to provide adequate
cooling. That is why generating the right
temperature, and a secure environment for servers
and other IT hardware is necessary for a
datacenter.

Why Servers Overheat?
SERVER NODES GENERATE EXCESSIVE HEAT. THATS WHY
THEY ARE EQUIPPED WITH CPU COOLING FANS. PLUS,
THEY REQUIRE EFFICIENT VENTILATION SYSTEMS TO
MINIMIZE HEAT. When their nodes hit the
temperature beyond 80-90F and remain at that
temperature constantly, your server becomes more
vulnerable to breakDOWN. EVEN IF YOU REPLACE YOUR
CPU AND SERVER IS ONCE AGAIN FACES OVERHEATING,
YOU MIGHT STILL RUN INTO TROUBLES IN THE LONG RUN
DUE TO THE MELTDOWN.

Indications of Server overheating

• THE SERVER TURNS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY ON ITS OWN IS
  THE VITAL SIGN OF SERVER OVERHEATING.
• Server freeze while running heavy workloads.
• The server produces memory errors frequentl

EFFECTS OF SERVER OVERHEATING

• Server nodes generate a lot of heat. So every
  server has CPU cooling fans, and data center
  server rooms are designed with high-tech
  ventilation to take the heat from the server
  reduce the temperature inside the server.
• Due to overheating, the temperature of the nodes
  around the CPU rises to 90F. If it stays at that
  heat level for several minutes, it may lead to
  the blasting of the CPU or the melting down of
  the server. It is a critical situation for
  business because nothing can be repairable and
  affects all essential business operations.
• In some cases, the CPU replaced, and the server
  is functioning again after the incident. But the
  essential components like memory, motherboard,
  and power supply are exposed to heat during a
  meltdown and end up in failure after the CPU
  replacement. So melting down affects the entire
  server adversely and the business as well.
• Server overheating also causes a server crash and
  leads to critical information loss.

How to Protect Your Server from Overheating

• Make Sure All Fans are Working
• Fix the CPU Heat Sinks
• Remove Dust Buildup
• Create Proper Ventilation in Server Room
• Minimize the Temperature
• Isolate Your Server Room from the Rest
