Also, if you've got a solid door you may want to swap it for a perforated one.

So I think we will look at the fan option. Thanks all who replied.

If not fan, install a cabinet fan (black box has them, or the vendor you purchased your cabinet from) and don't plug it into the UPS. Run it separate.

We put a temperature monitor in the cabinet because it was feeling to warm whenever we were there. The temp is holding steady at 83 oF to 84 oF. This is in the upper portion of the cabinet. The servers are about 3 feet below that. Is this acceptable? TIA Leon ******************************************************** This Week's Sponsor - Emergent Online Essential Thin Client Utilities.
