Case Study: No Dustproof Measures Are Taken in the Device Installation Environment, Affecting Heat Dissipation
Symptom
Due to a large amount of dust in the equipment room, the fan intake and exhaust areas are blocked, affecting heat dissipation.
Relevant Alarms and Logs
None
Cause Analysis
As shown in the following figure, the equipment room has a large amount of dust. This leads to the fan intake and exhaust areas becoming almost entirely blocked, affecting heat dissipation.
Procedure
- Clean the equipment room periodically to prevent dust from accumulating on devices.
Suggestion and Summary
Dust will cause electrostatic discharges on devices and affect connections of metal connectors and joints. This shortens service life of devices and may cause failures of devices. For details about the environmental requirements of an equipment room, see Environmental Requirements for an Equipment Room.
