Monitoring Physical Facilities
This subsection explains how to check the physical environment of your computer
facility. You might be asked to monitor these aspects of your physical facility:
•
Air temperature and humidity
•
Physical security
•
Order and cleanliness
•
Fire-protection systems
Checking Air Temperature and Humidity
Check that the temperature and humidity are at the correct level established by
management personnel. Monitor any sensors that control temperature and humidity.
Your computer environment should have information posted that lists the names and
telephone numbers of individuals that operators can call when a malfunction occurs
with the heating, air conditioning, and humidity systems.
Checking Physical Security
Your company’s security policy will guide you in the kind of security monitoring you
perform. You might be asked to check doors and windows at the beginning and end of
your shift and report the presence of unauthorized persons. In some facilities,
operations staff might be responsible for monitoring and maintaining electronic security
systems.
