Optimal Environment Temperature Recommendation

The following information is especially important for Intel-based Macs and can partially be ignored for Apple silicon-based Macs.

  • Run the servers in an environment where the temperature does not exceed 68° F or 20° C.

  • (INTEL only) Manually control the fan speed with a software such as Macs Fan Control and configure it like shown below to make sure the Mac does not overheat.
