      Are you doing anything to monitor the internal temperatures of the servers in your server room? That is the temperature that matters most.

      actually i know the temperature by the degree of the air conditioner

      Actually that is exactly the mistake I was trying to help you to avoid. The AC unit can't tell you that. Airflow determines how much cooling the servers get and you can only tell how well things are working by asking the server to monitor itself and tell you the internal temperature. Nothing on the outside can tell you. It's a common mistake by new IT people in the data closet to think that keeping the air cool will keep the servers cool.

      it is a good point, i should implement a monitoring software to get that info

      Does your server have an out of band management software? Most do if it is Dell iDRAC if it is HP iLO. They should report temperatures from their web interface.

        @IT-ADMIN start by using the tools on the servers. Any "real" server will have this monitoring already, you just need to log into the server and look at it.

        What kind of servers do you have?

            That should have an iDrac I think. Log into that and see if the temps are displayed.

                @IT-ADMIN generally setting up your iDrac is the first step in installing a Dell server (or ILO for an HP, IPMI for SuperMicro, etc.) I don't know the T310 specifically, but likely you will need to set up access for it in the BIOS. The iDRAC will have its own IP address and should be accessible from a web browser.

                  unfortunately it is not me who set up this server in the first time. so i don't know anything about that 😞

                    Most of the newer ones can be configured from the front panel LCD without even messing with the BIOS or Idrac/Lifecycle controller settings on the server.

                      unfortunately i don't have LCD on my server
                      what is strange is on their website they show LCD but in reality there is no LCD (just marketing) or maybe i have an old generation
