Data Centers: Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Equipment

Proper and fault-tolerant operation within data processing environments, like the data center, can only occur if there is alignment between equipment manufacturers, facility designers, and operations personnel. The ASHRAE Technical Committee 9.9 guidelines for environmental conditions deal with this need. This course is about these guidelines.

This on-demand, interactive course includes:

• Three online modules
• Online self-assessment

After completing this course, you will be familiar with the:

• ASHRAE Technical Committee 9.9 guidelines for environmental conditions within Data Centers and Telecom Rooms

Ideal for:

• Individuals who are involved in the design, construction, commissioning, operating, implementation, and maintenance of equipment rooms
• Individuals who are involved in the development and design of electronic equipment

Learning objectives:

The three online modules help you to:

• Explain the purpose of the Thermal Guidelines created by the ASHRAE committee
• List the allowable and recommended environmental conditions for data centers and other data processing environments
• Explain the significance of temperature and humidity measurement in datacom facilities
• Explain the significance of Facility Health and Audit tests, Equipment Installation Verification tests, and Equipment Troubleshooting tests
• Describe the types of Facility Health and Audit tests, Equipment Installation Verification tests, and Equipment Troubleshooting tests
• Explain airflow guidelines for the placement of data processing and communication equipment
• List the equipment room airflow guidelines for maximizing the thermal and physical capabilities of the equipment room
• Explain how to obtain heat release information from information technology equipment
