Are your devices ready for the next big heatwave?

Posted: 11 months ago

Things are warming up fast, and you’ll need to go the extra mile to make sure your devices can handle the dog days of summer! And while all you need to do to stay cool is throw on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts, for your office tech gear, things aren’t so simple. Here are some easy tips that will help you protect your devices and keep them running smoothly until things cool down again:

Always leave room for airflow: Ventilation is important all year round, but in the summer heat, it can be the difference between seamless operation and system failure.
Don’t overtax your power supply: You should never plug too many computers into one power strip, but in the dog days of summer, breaking this golden rule can lead to power surges that fry all your computers at once.
Ride out the storm with your computer off: Nasty storms go hand-in-hand with the summer months, and when lighting strikes, you should power down your machines and unplug them if possible—and encourage employees to do the same.
Keep your office as cool as possible: If you keep your A/C cranked, you’re much less likely to run into problems with your machines overheating. Computers do best when the temperature is lower than 77 degrees, so try keep the thermostat well below that range if possible.
