-------------------- Computer Room Power |
 |
Computer Room Power For critical data applications, computer cabinets will employ two power strips, each of these being supplied from a different source, such as a pair of power distribution units. Power should transfer seamlessly between each source in case of a fault on either supply. UPS systems are employed to supply power to computer cabinets in the event of mains failure. The UPS system needs to be sized according to the time needed to keep the rack running before allowing a controlled shut down or to allow transfer of power to a generator back up. The computer room power design must cater for equipment and battery UPS systems that produce large amounts of heat, adequate cooling must therefore be provided to prevent racks overheating. UPS systems in particular will have a considerably shorter life span if kept in high ambient temperatures. Ensuring the reliability of critical data centre systems, power is at the top of a designer's list. IT equipment must be supplied with a clean, consistent source of electrical power, which allows the equipment to avoid system errors and / or a system crash. For low level cover, a UPS system will allow for a controlled power shutdown of all servers, and allow continuous working through minor power cuts and blips in the power supply. A larger UPS system will allow servers to continue working throughout longer duration power cuts. The UPS system may also supply a dedicated power supply throughout the client's office, enabling pc's and other essential supplies to be maintained. For further protection, the UPS will be able to receive power from an alternative source, such as a generator, allowing continuous running throughout extended power cuts. |
