D Site Preparation Guidelines
This appendix contains blank floor plan grids and equipment templates. Combine the necessary
number of floor plan grid sheets to create a scaled version of the computer room floor plan.
Figure D-1 illustrates the overall dimensions required for an HP 9000 rp7420 server.
Figure D-1 Space Requirements
Equipment Footprint Templates
Equipment footprint templates are drawn to the same scale as the floor plan grid (1/4 inch = 1
foot). These templates show basic equipment dimensions and space requirements for servicing.
The service areas shown on the template drawings are lightly shaded.
The equipment templates should be used with the floor plan grid to define the location of the
equipment that will be installed in your computer room.
NOTE: Photocopying typically changes the scale of drawings copied. If any templates are
copied, then all templates and floor plan grids must also be copied.
Computer Room Layout Plan
Use the following procedure to create a computer room layout plan:
1.
Remove several copies of the floor plan grid.
2. Cut and join them together (as necessary) to create a scale model floor plan of your computer
room.
3. Remove a copy of each applicable equipment footprint template.
4. Cut out each template selected in step 3; then place it on the floor plan grid created in step
2.
5. Position pieces until the desired layout is obtained; then fasten the pieces to the grid. Mark
locations of computer room doors, air-conditioning floor vents, utility outlets, and so on.
