Table D-2 Data Center Environment Checklist
Data Center Environmental Considerations Yes No N/A Comment
Does the computer room air handling meet temperature
and humidity requirements?
Does the installation floor layout satisfy the ventilation
requirements?
Will the equipment be positioned so that the exhaust air
of one rack does not enter the air intake of another rack?
Are the perforated floor tiles each rated at 400 CFM or
greater?
Do the data center air conditioners provide sufficient front
to back airflow?
Is airflow adequate to prevent hot spots?
Can the data center continuously satisfy environmental
requirements?
Can more vented floor tiles be obtained if required?
Complete the following checklist to ensure that the facility power requirements are met
for the data center where the server is installed.
Table D-3 Facility Power Checklist
Facility Power Considerations Yes No N/A Comment
Do you know the required operating voltage and
electric current level of the server and peripherals?
Are enough power outlets provided within 2 meters
(6.5 feet) for each rack?
Do the power outlets have appropriate socket
receptacles?
Will optional ground cables be attached to the rack?
Are the circuit breakers for the equipment suitable for
voltage and current-carrying capacities?
Does the power frequency meet the equipment
specifications?
Will system power be delivered from two separate
power grids?
Is there a UPS to power the equipment?
Do you have the minimum required power sources to
support the power load for the new hardware? Use
kilowatt (kW)/kilovolt (kVA) to express power load.
Complete the following checklist before you install the server into a rack.
