Building: <br />- Retain the single point of entry and sufficient property setback of building for <br />perimeter security purposes. <br />- Retain security system, but modify to eliminate central control station. <br />- Modify existing path of travel to allow unimpeded access to areas of reuse. <br />- Utilize open plumbing chases for cooling and electrical chases. <br />- Open interior of first floor areas with existing 15' high elevations as shown on <br />plans to create as much open floor space as possible. <br />- Remove roll -up doors between dayrooms. <br />- Establish efficient floor layouts - rectangular and / or square is preferable. <br />- Remove carpet and flooring from housing / dayroom space so it can be used for <br />data center racks and equipment. <br />- Install raised access floor system for data cables to efficiently and effectively <br />handle high heat. If not utilizing a raised floor, include costs to build overhead <br />infrastructure that can handle power and data wiring needs. <br />- Modify and equip existing loading docks for equipment delivery access in a <br />secure area. <br />- Modify fire sprinkler system to pre -emergent system <br />- Upgrade equipment such as chillers, pumps, power and power backup. <br />Electrical Needs (Power / Cabling/ Fiber / etc.) <br />AC / DC power must meet the demands of the hardware and equipment including <br />redundancies for the UPS and backup <br />generator systems. Ground, copper, and <br />fiber optics are the main types of network <br />cabling used in most data centers. The <br />interface available on the equipment used is <br />the primary means for determining which type <br />of cabling should be used. The network data <br />cabling may also be selected based upon the <br />bandwidth requirements of the equipment <br />being used. Additionally, cabling within a data <br />center may be either structured or unstructured. Structured cabling uses a <br />predefined standard based design, connection points, and pathways. The cabling <br />used in an unstructured wiring design is based on the bandwidth requirements of the <br />system and is tested to ensure proper performance. It should be feasible to add <br />extra electrical and mechanical cooling loads if and when needed. <br />Electrical Equipment <br />- Determine which type of cabling (ground, copper, fiber optics, etc.) should be use <br />and install accordingly. <br />- Ensure AC / DC power meets the hardware, equipment, UPS, and backup <br />generator system demands. <br />- Ensure feasibility of adding extra electrical and mechanical cooling loads when <br />necessary. <br />- Provide adequate riser space for primary / emergency power, HVAC, diverse <br />fiber entries, and other vertical services. <br />- Install overhead cable trans and sufficient lighting in each area being utilized. <br />- If colocation with multiple customers, data center power distribution should be <br />designed such that it is not affected by other areas / customers. <br />- Install MDF, IDF, and UPS. <br />- Upgrade diesel backup power, security, and mechanical systems. <br />119 <br />65A-126 <br />
