Question #: 43
Topic #: 9
[All CDCP Questions]

What is the effect of a high relative humidity in the data centre?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

High relative humidity in a data center can lead to corrosion of metal parts and electronic contacts, potentially causing failures. Electrostatic discharge is a risk with low humidity, not high.

B) In a data centre environment relative humidity is not important, only temperature matters. Wait, what? That can't be right.

I definitely remember something about electrostatic discharge being a risk, but I can't remember if that was related to high humidity or low humidity.

Okay, I'm leaning towards C on this one. If the humidity is too high, it could interfere with the proper functioning of the smoke detectors, which would be a major issue in a data centre. I'll double-check the other options, but that's my initial thought.

I think the answer is D. High humidity can lead to corrosion of the metal components in the data centre, which could cause all sorts of problems. I remember learning about that in one of my IT courses.

B seems like the wrong answer to me. Even if temperature is the primary concern, relative humidity can't be ignored in a data centre environment. I'm pretty confident that A or D is the correct response here.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I know that temperature is really important in a data centre, but I thought humidity was also a factor. I'll have to think this through a bit more.

I'm pretty confident that the answer is A. High relative humidity can definitely increase the risk of electrostatic discharge, which can damage sensitive electronic equipment in a data centre.
