Hi all,<br />
<br />
On of my clients keeps their single rack mount server in a comms room in a large shared office block. &nbsp;They are getting regularly audited and IT is now becoming part of this audit. &nbsp;They have been asked to provide regular temperature and humidity monitoring checks which haven't been happening and they have asked me to start monitoring (albeit crudely) but before I do this I wanted to know at least what the max and min safe temperatures and humidity levels should be within that comms room. &nbsp;Is there a fairly generic safe range I can quote?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />
