Design computer room layout
Software is now commercially available to aid in planning and laying out space and location requirements for
computer room equipment. Large computer installations will find such software particularly useful in
managing the equipment relocation and new equipment installations over time. Computer room space
planning can also be performed using scaled templates and cutouts.
In order to complete the computer room layout, the Hewlett-Packard site preparation specialist will need to
do the following:
• Get the computer room dimensions from the customer
• Identify the locations for the system cabinet, peripherals, and other equipment
• Identify the locations of the various utilities and datacomm equipment:
— telephone
— power
— networks
—A/C
— air ducts
— fire protection
—lighting
— personnel equipment (console, desks, tables, cabinets, etc.)
• Identify any external resources required
