Survival Tips in Datacenter

Sometimes, you have to work hours or days in Datacenter. Since you might work in operational environment, or you also might work in lab or pre-operational environment, you have to work in high concentration.

You also might work in hours or days (or even you can not leave the datacenter unless your works had been done), then you need to keep your stamina in good condition.

Below is some survival tips from me:
1. Datacenter is very cold and very noisy. So better to prepare jacket. If you have noise canceling, it’s ok to bring it.
2. Since datacenter is very cold and dry (because of aircon), better you drink mineral water every hours. Because you will not feel thirsty in datacenter, but actually your body need water.
3. Make sure how to get toilet (where is toilet, is there any key to go out to the toilet, etc). because you might go to toilet so often
4. Look around, and find something warm. The rear side of Sunfire 6800 is a good place to go to warm up your body
5. Do not expect you will find comfortable place to work, you may sit on the floor or stand for hours, depend where you can put your laptop. So, don’t forget to take a rest every hour just to walk around for few minutes.

These are some tips. I will update later.
