Hey all, I'm going to put some assembled 1U servers and some associated parts (boxes of RAM, CPUs, etc) in storage for six months until I can get them into their respective colos.
I've found a large-enough storage locker at a nice and clean, 24-hour access storage facility within walking distance from my residence. They assure me that it is ventilatd well and there is no problem with damp, however it's not actively air conditioned or heated.
What are the things I need to watch out for when putting computers like this into storage? I think the possibility of damp worries me most, however I'm sure there's other stuff I've missed.
For example, is it better to leave the RAM installed or should I take it out?
Should I simply ensure that they're securely packed in boxes and throw a few dessicant sachets in each one?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!
