Why Dust Could Be the Root Cause of Your Server Problems

Is your factory experiencing server problems? While floor managers typically focus on maintaining their production equipment, there’s an often overlooked aspect of manufacturing operations – the servers. Whether it’s the fine metal dust from your CNC machine, or the oil dripping from your hydraulic press, the factory floor is a tough environment for server equipment.

Without proper protection, dust and other contaminants can turn minor server maintenance issues into major server problems. The good news? These risks are entirely preventable with the right server enclosure solution.

Common Server Problems

Manufacturing facilities face unique challenges when it comes to server maintenance. Here are the most frequent server problems caused by dust.

Clogging and Inhibiting Fans

Have you ever wondered why your server is making a loud noise? More than likely, this is the fans working hard due to a cooling or ventilation problem. When dust accumulates around the server it can block airflow and prevent the fan from working properly. Your power supply works harder than necessary, eventually leading to overheating and potential system failure. Unless your server is equipped with redundant power supplies, you’re facing significant downtime.

Storage Drive Performance Issues

What seems like a minor dust buildup can lead to major server problems. Left unchecked dust will build up inside your storage drives where it will eventually cause the drive to operate slowly and unreliably, or even to stop working entirely.

CPU Component Stress

When dust clogs your case fans and CPU fans, it causes server problems. Heat sinks become less effective, air flow diminishes, and your entire server system suffers.
