This chapter defines the general requirements for server system installation planning
and for the facilities used to house server systems. Successful planning ensures
system installation efficiency now and in the future, assuring system reliability,
convenience, and functionality.
The users wishing to install a server system must make both the site and associated
facilities available, and also develop meticulous installation plans to ensure that all of
the facilities prerequisite to operating the server system into service are ready before
equipment are delivered to the site.
1.1 Office Installation and Computer Room
Installation
Installation site of server system can be classified into two types as described below.
The decision of installation site depends on the unit size and specific conditions of
use.
zOffice installation
zComputer room installation
The following are overview of each case:
1.1.1 Office installation
Computer equipment appropriate for office space installation is:
zCompact server units
zI/O devices
These equipments are more appropriate for office space installation than are
equipment that must be installed in a computer room, because they make less noise,
have lower power requirements, dissipate less heat and are operable over wider
temperature and humidity ranges. Office installation does not require free-access
floors or special electrical facilities. As a rule, the building's existing air conditioning
system can be shared.
