How Much Humidity is Too Much?

by rkclark0308 . Updated 25 years, 6 months ago

Our server room is currently running about 45-49% humidity, which to us seems too high, especially when the printer is curling the paper, there are occasional drips from the ceiling, and the smell is almost unbearable. We know that we don’t want ittoo dry in there, so it’s not prone to static electricity, but is there a range of where a server room should be?

We’ve been fighting with maintenance and the power plant people for the last month saying it’s too high, especially when one of the ladies has been here for 3 years and has never had the room feel like that before. Our office right next door is running at about 25% humidity.
