Computer Room Layout Plan

Use the following procedure to create a computer room layout plan:

Step 1. Remove several copies of the floor plan grid.

Step 2. Cut and join them together (as necessary) to create a scale model floor plan of your computer room.

Step 3. Remove a copy of each applicable equipment footprint template.

Step 4. Cut out each template selected in Step 3; then place it on the floor plan grid created in Step 2.

Step 5. Position pieces until the desired layout is obtained; then fasten the pieces to the grid. Mark

locations of computer room doors, air-conditioning floor vents, utility outlets, and so on.

NOTE Attach a reduced copy of the completed floor plan to the site survey located in Chapter 4,

“Pre-installation Survey.” Hewlett-Packard field engineers use this floor plan during equipment

installation.
