OFF TOPIC: weld in servers room

hi
--really off topic--
tomorrow will arrive a tecnician
to change the SERVER's ROOM air conditioner
he need to weld metals on the window
the concern is about the integrity
of the electronic components
since the weld machine creates an "electric arc"
should we shutdown servers
and move them to another place ?
how much distance must be there
between the weld machine and servers
to weld relatively safe ?
how much distance from the electrode and equipment ?
really off topic, yes

If your servers are on a filtered power supply, properly installed in
racks, your equipment ground is good, and the welder plugs into a
separate circuit, things should be fine. I don't think the broadcast
EMF is a problem, the surge on the power line might be. If there's
even a foot or two between the arc and the servers, should be OK.
Won't help if he spatters hot metal all over things, though, or throws
a tarp over the servers so they overheat!

i'll take care of that
