26 C120-H007-08ENCHAPTER 3 Equipment Layout3.3 Precautions in Preparation of an EquipmentLayoutIn preparing an equipment layout, take into account hardware constraints, operationalconsiderations, and installation equipment constraints.3.3.1 Hardware constraints(1) Cable length limitationsEach signal cable or power control cable has a limitation on its length. In laying outequipment, be careful not to exceed these limitations.(2) Wiring volumes and routesa) Small systemsIn small systems involving a relatively low volume of wiring, equipment may beinstalled in an I, L or E-shaped layout to simplify the wiring routes on or under thefloor.Cover any wires or connections that are laid on the floor so that they do not interferewith traffic.b) Larger systemsIn larger systems with an increased volume of wiring, a free-access floor is required.This is a raised floor structure in which the floor plates are removable.(3) Heat dissipation from equipmentIf devices that dissipate a high amount of heat are used, they must not be concentratedwithin the same area considering air conditioning capability (1 or 2 kW/m2 ).3.3.2 Operational considerations(1) Equipment functionality and operabilityThe components that make up a server system each have a specific functional goal toserve and should be grouped for ease of system operation.
