When building a Telecommunications room some things you are going to have to consider are doing to have to be the climate and also the setup. Among these things to consider on the setup would consist of equipment racks, cabinets and pathways. I will discuss rules and regulations regarding the requirements of Building a Telecommunications room. I will start with the required climate conditions and end with the Equipment Racks, Cabinets and Pathways. When building out a telecommunications room there needs to be open air vents available to the buildings ventilation system for air conditioning and on each vent in the ductwork there should be dampers installed for climate control. There needs to be a 20 amp 110v ac circuit installed on each wall and one in the center of the room. There should be 40w fluorescent tubes approximately every 4 feet a crossed the ceiling. The server racks should generally be hooked up to high powered UPS’s located in a separate room.
Equipment Racks and Cabinets should have adequate air flow and cooling. They should also have Adjustable mounting rails that have markings. The Cabinets are suggested to be at least 6 inches wider and deeper than your largest equipment. They should have a minimum 2 foot rear clearance, and 3 foot front clearance. There should be a vertical cable manager installed between racks and at both ends of every row. When you are building pathways you need to consider the following; Quantity, size and bend requirements and you need to allow for growth. They cannot be located in elevator shafts by any means, however areas above ceilings is ok. Fire codes apply and must be respected regarding the use of polymers, (www.bicsi.org). As you can see there needs to be adequate lighting and temperature conditions in the server room to consider. One so you have light to be able to access anything you need. As well as adequate cooling system so the server room doesn’t over heat. There are strict guidelines on how the server room is set up and how the racks are composed to have adequate cooling conditions as well so you don’t overheat and damage the equipment or worse cause a fire. As long as you maintain these guidelines you should be well on the right track of setting up a successful telecommunications room.
