        flow direction        commonly front to rear or front to top.

Best Practices: IT            If the equipment uses a different air flow
                              direction to that defined for the area into which it
                              is installed (such as right to left when the rack is
                              intended to be front to back) it should only be
                              used with a correction mechanism such as
                              ducts, or special racks that divert the air flow to
                              the defined direction.


                              Uncorrected equipment with non standard air
                              flow will compromise the air flow management
                              of the data centre and therefore restrict
                              temperature set points. It is possible to mitigate
                              this issue by segregating such equipment as per

                              Managing unbroken rows is especially important in

                              between the aisles will degrade the separation of

Best Practices: IT If the equipment uses a different air flow direction to that defined for the area into which it is installed (such as right to left when the rack is intended to be front to back) it should only be used with a correction mechanism such as ducts, or special racks that divert the air flow to the defined direction. Uncorrected equipment with non standard air flow will compromise the air flow management of the data centre and therefore restrict temperature set points. It is possible to mitigate this issue by segregating such equipment as per practice 5.1.10. 4.1.6 Enable power Formally change the deployment process to New IT 5 management include the enabling of power management Equipment features features on IT hardware as it is deployed.

Maintain unbroken rows of Centre cabinets to prevent re-circulated air – where necessary fill with empty fully blanked racks. Managing unbroken rows is especially important in hot and cold aisle environments.

The use of overhead cabling trays can substantially reduce these losses. 5.1.8 Design – Hot / As the power densities and air flow volumes of IT New IT 3 cold aisle equipment have increased it has become Equipment necessary to ensure that equipment shares an air flow direction, within the rack, in adjacent racks and across aisles. New build or retrofit The hot / cold aisle concept aligns equipment air flow to create aisles between racks that are fed cold air from which all of the equipment draws intake air in conjunction with hot aisles with no cold air feed to which all equipment exhausts air. 5.1.9 Design – Raised It is common to use the voids in the raised floor, Optional 3 floor or suspended ceiling or BP in a data centre to feed BP both R suspended cold air to equipment or extract hot air from the ceiling height equipment.
