Consultant pilot fish is called in to deal with this company's newly installed WAN network equipment.
The problem: It's overheating in a big way.But the reason turns out to be no big mystery after all.
"The client had an old available computer room with a raised floor," says fish.
"But it was quite dirty underfloor, and no cyber-cleaning was considered."The new nationwide network equipment and racks were installed.
But to negate the problem of the cabinet's top-mounted rack fans dragging crud up from under the floor, it was decided to reverse the top-mounted fans to push the air down into the rack equipment."Wonder why there were massive heating problems
