Instruments for Server Hardware Maintenance


A data logger is an essential device for server hardware maintenance. Although computers come with their very own monitoring systems, these systems usually only track temperature, voltage and performance. Room conditions such as high moisture can be cause damage to certain computer components. The data logger keeps track of these conditions and provide important information that can be used to increase the life and maximize the performance of server hardware.  

A computer server is used to manage network resources. There are many kinds of servers that differ according to their functions. A file server is used for storing files that users within the network can access. The server allows for easy sharing and backing up of important files. A print server is used  for managing one or more printers. This type of server allows users to have shared access on one or more printers to perform printing operations without needing an individual printer for each user.

A server is composed of a software and computer. The software accepts queries from clients. The computer executes the software. Both software and computer must be properly maintained to ensure smooth the server functions as intended.

Maintenance of the computer hardware involves regular cleaning and replacement of parts that are failing. Computers have monitoring system that tracks the state or performance of components. There is no need for wireless thermometer since many computer components come with their own temperature-tracking instruments.
