Designer: This template is to assist in the design of a new Data Center and features the concepts
presented in Build the Best Data Center Facility for Your Business, by Douglas Alger.
The template is written for a company proect manager who needs to present Data
Center design guidelines to a contracted architectural firm. !t is assumed that the
architectural firm will, in turn, create construction documents to be re"iewed by the
appropriate municipal planning department and ultimately followed by the proect#scontractors$electricians, mechanical contractors, cabling "endors, and so on.
%otes to the designer introduce each section of the document. %otes are also placed at
&ey paragraphs to clarify re'uirements or e(plain what information must be entered.
)ariables in this document$data points you must enter$are highlighted in teal. Cable
counts and other 'uantities ha"e been suggested where appropriate. !n other instances,
"ariables are represented by a description *for e(ample., Your Company+ or symbol *for
e(ample, +.
-emo"e all italicied notes and color/coding after you fill out the template.

Designer: The sie and amount of your wire management is dri"en by how many patch cords must
be accommodated, particularly copper cabling. *Fiber patch cords are thinner than
copper and therefore ha"e less effect on wire management.+ !f your Data Center willha"e only 35 ports of copper cabling to each cabinet location, 7/ and =/inch *3?/ and 56/
centimeter+ "ertical wire managers are probably fine. !f your Data Center has 8= portsto each cabinet location, consider =/ and 35/inch *56/ and 46/centimeter+ "ertical wire
management.
The sie of the horiontal wire managers can generally be matched to whate"er copper
patch panels you use. For e(ample, if the patch panels in your networ& cabinets house 8=
copper ports in 4.? inches *=.@ centimeters+ of space, use 4.?/inch *=.@/centimeter+ wire
managers to route cables so they can plug in to those ac&s.

Designer: The drawings that follow are sample details useful for illustrating a Data Center design.
Figure 3$Cabinet Location Plan$This depicts a Data Center#s o"erall layout. The drawing is usefulfor showing spacing and orientation of ser"er rows and maor infrastructure.
Figure 5$Floor Tile Location Plan$The raised floor grid, including floor tile cutout dimensions and
the placement of perforated tiles.
Figure 4$Electrical Location Plan$The types and locations of all electrical infrastructure within the
Data Center. Fi"e e(amples of electrical receptacles are listed in the symbol &ey.
Figure 8$Data Routing Diagram$1aths for structured cabling. This illustration not only con"eys the
distributed cabling hierarchy concept, but can also guide "endors so that cabling doesn#t criss/cross and
ris& tangling.
Figure ?$Under-Floor Power and Cable Detail$This detail shows the placement of infrastructure
under each ser"er row, including routing data cabling and electrical conduits along separate but parallelpaths.
