Equipment floor layout is determined by:
- Number of cabinets
- Power consumption levels of all cabinets
- Available floor space
- Available cold air delivery capacity, including:
- Cold air volume
- Temperature of conditioned air
- Cooling environment (such as open air, containment, and liquid cooling)
- When designing floor layouts, it is important to consider future growth.
Use cabinet power, cooling air information, and the following charts to determine how many tiles per cabinet are required in the floor layout.
Cabinet Power and Cooling Requiring Three Tiles Per Cabinet
Cabinet Power and Cooling Requiring Four Tiles Per Cabinet
Cabinet Power and Cooling Requiring Five Tiles Per Cabinet
Cabinet Power and Cooling Requiring Seven Tiles Per Cabinet
