Why each option

The typical recommended temperature range for data centers, as advised by ASHRAE, is between 64°F and 77°F (18°C and 25°C). This range helps maintain equipment reliability while optimizing cooling energy efficiency.

A64°F to 77°F (18°C to 25°C)Correct

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommends a temperature range of 64°F to 77°F (18°C to 25°C) for optimal data center operation. This range balances the need to prevent overheating of IT equipment with minimizing energy consumption for cooling, thus extending hardware lifespan.

B78°F to 85°F (26°C to 29°C)

This temperature range is generally considered too high for sustained data center operation and could increase the risk of equipment failure due to overheating.

C41°F to 55°F (5°C to 12°C)

D56°F to 63°F (13°C to 17°C)
