About this listen

Maintaining the physical environment around IT systems is just as important as managing the systems themselves. This episode begins with ventilation and cooling requirements—how airflow affects server performance, what happens when heat builds up, and how to monitor environmental thresholds. We explain how to position equipment in racks, monitor for overheating, and implement failover systems like redundant fans or power supplies.

We also cover proper disposal methods for batteries, toner cartridges, and electronic waste in compliance with environmental regulations. Lastly, we introduce the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), which provides safety information for handling chemicals and components. These details may appear in both compliance- and scenario-based exam questions. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
