Environmental Concerns for a Server Room? 78
christian_thoma asks: "My company is currently in the preparation phase for building a huge new manufacturing facility. While reviewing the site plan, I've discovered that there is both a cell phone tower and high voltage lines within 100-150 meters of where the server room is going to be placed. Do I need to be concerned? Are there any special considerations when designing my server room that I need to be aware of? Has anyone else had to deal with a similar situation?"

You could tell the time-in-service of a memory board by how dark the printed circuit board material had become around the regulator.

Seriously... get the server room shielded with wire mesh built into the walls and conductive film on the windows... like a Faraday Cage [gla.ac.uk]... then you won't get weird interference problems
Hope you have some newer Sparcs (Score:0, Interesting)

I'm no electrical expert, so I have no idea how far this effect reaches, but I would be very prudent and try to measure/test the area for interference.

More than anything else, this sounds like a good excuse to get some nice LCDs
