A week without Aircon!
Back in May we had one of our ACs take a powder, and our service company couldn't source parts for it, nada, so they had to order a new one took 5 days for it to arrive, and 2 days to get it installed correctly. I put fans up on stands at the top of the doorways (3) to the server room, blew the hot air out, with windows open in the adjacent rooms letting cool air in along the floor. Worked OK until we had a warm day... The howling was deafening, from both me and the gear. I was screaming at facilities, they were screaming at the AC company about the SLA not being worth the paper it was printed on! The new unit went down 3 times in the next two weeks. Finally somebody who knew what they were doing was sent in, and solved the problem in about 5 minutes! Been solid ever since, touch wood!
