High humidity may lead to corrosion on electronic components and low humidity levels may cause issues with static electricity. A probe near the room’s thermostat can help monitor what the thermostat is ‘seeing’ as it controls the air conditioner. Probes should also be placed around critical devices, because the temperature inside a rack-mounted device could be as much as 20 degrees higher than the surrounding area. These should be placed on top, middle, and bottom of individual racks to measure the heat being generated by equipment, and at the air conditioning system’s intake and discharge vents, to measure efficiency.
