Pre-Installation
Room preparation
During the design of the data center, consider ease of entry for the equipment, floor loading factors, and
accessibility to piping and wiring. In addition, the room temperature and humidity combination should conform
to the environmental operating envelope as defined in the following graphics.
Seal the room with a vapor barrier to minimize moisture infiltration. Polyethylene film is recommended for
ceiling and wall applications. Apply rubber- or plastic-based paints to concrete walls and floors.
Insulate the room to minimize the influence of exterior heat loads. Reduce fresh air to the minimum required by
local and national codes and regulations. Fresh air imposes extreme load variation on the cooling equipment
from summer to winter and causes increased system operating costs.
Air distribution
The equipment distributes air in a back-to-front discharge pattern, removing hot air from a hot aisle and
discharging cooled air into a cold aisle.
NOTE: The equipment is designed for free air discharge or for use with the Rack Air Containment System or
Hot Aisle Containment System. The equipment is not intended to be connected to a duct system.
