In my home data center I monitor for humidity with a RackBotz monitoring appliance in the server rack.
This morning it’s sending me low humidity alarms, as it’s showing 16% humidity.
I’ve read about the ‘triboelectric effect’ where components can fail due to ESD (electro static discharge) happening without human interaction. Anybody ever seen that happen?
Obviously I will use my static grounding strap when working in the server rack at this humidity.
Maybe Sears has a sale on humidifiers…..
