CHAPTER 2 Installation Sites
b) Purpose of air conditioning
In a computer room, there are many heat sources such as dissipation from server
systems, heat from surrounding circumstances, and heat generated by lighting and
operators' bodies that increase instability of air conditions in the room. Air
conditioners are required in order to improve stability of air conditions in the room.
c) Precautions
Regarding the selection of air conditioning facilities, the following items require
consideration:
z Air conditioning facilities needed to keep the server system running successfully
z For water-cooled air conditioners, the location of the cooling tower and coolant
piping to the air conditioner
z For air-cooled air conditioners, the location of the air-cooled outdoor unit and
refrigerant piping to the air conditioner
z Cooling water capacity to provide year-round cooling, for cases where only chilled
water is available for cooling the building, and no locations are available for
installing a cooling tower or outdoor unit
(3) Telecommunications equipment
The area or telecommunications equipment room in which telecommunications
equipment is to be installed need to be reviewed.
(4) Fire extinguishing facilities
If fire extinguishing facilities are to be installed, a particular area is needed to install
them.
2.2.5 Access routes
The process of installing a server system involves frequent carrying-in and out of
equipment, at initial system setup, the addition of more equipment, upgrading, and so
on. Before equipment is carried in, consideration should be given to the surrounding
conditions of the building, the location where the equipment is to be unpacked, how
the equipment is to be carried in, and temporary floor reinforcement along the access
route. To this end, the user needs to review the access route from the opening in the
building through which the equipment is carried into the computer room where the
equipment is to be set up. The Fujitsu shipping coordinator may take a preliminary
tour of the access route and conduct consultations with the user beforehand.
The items that require consideration are listed as follows:
