stand by computers in server room

@IT-ADMIN said:
so this issue has nothing to do with their previous location, but how we can explain that this computer was fine before taking it to the server room ??
The times when servers are most like to die are not related to how they are stored but include:
- When they are moved.
- When they are powered on.

Why do you need to explain anything? Hardware dies, do you have to explain why a car won't start after some years of wear and tear?

Not a coincidence at all. You powered on a machine that had been off... that's the time you expect things to fail. Nothing odd in any way.

What is going on with the machine? Are their failure indicator lights?
-
i checked on DELL website, this is what i find
i have the first symptom, it mean i have a motherboard issue
-
Ah, okay. Can you get a replacement there?
-
unfortunately no, there is no warranty, i have to buy a new desktop

17C is about 62-63F [(if my math is right) I checked Google...it is], which is getting near the top-end range of my ideal temperature. 45-65F is ideal for me, so no, that's not cold at all. Most computers in Upstate NY deal with months of 6-8+ hour stretches of temperatures much colder than that with no issues.

Ideal data center temperatures have actually been moved up to 68-78F range in recent years.

Temperature isn't the biggest factor in a data center enviroment moisture in the air is a killer.

@IT-ADMIN Have you considered purchasing a replacement motherboard instead of replacing the entire desktop?

Depending on the age of the machine, it may or may not be worth it. If it's more than five years, I wouldn't bother unless he wants to scrap the machine and work and salvage it for home, or salvage it for a lab purpose...

Yeah, if you have cooler temperatures and high humidity, condensation is NOT your friend and will mess up a machine!

Remember, two killers of electronics: moisture and heat.

when i access server room, the metal looks wet, is this show that there is humidity right?

You really need to get some humidity control and air conditioning (not just cooling) in there. If the metal looks wet chances are it is wet.
