NOTICE
This is a contractual document. It contains important warnings and confers important legal rights and obligations. You are advised to read it carefully.
It is the responsibility of the customer to assure that all installation preparations are complete and in compliance with Teradata Corporation specifications and requirements and all applicable national, state, or local codes, regulations, and laws.
SITE PREPARATION
This document contains the information necessary for the preparation of a site conforming to Teradata Corporation specifications.
• It is very important that the site complies with the requirements specified in this document because, once the equipment has been installed, deficiencies in site preparation or the problems caused by these deficiencies are much more difficult to detect and correct.
• Failure to comply with these requirements or take proper steps to protect equipment against risks identified in this document may cause serious damage to the equipment and to the customer's business.
• In addition to the need to comply with the requirements specified, electrical wiring and mechanical systems must also comply with all relevant codes, laws, and regulations.
• It is important that the site be prepared by a customer or his agent who is fully conversant with the special requirements of electronic equipment.
• The responsibility for ensuring that the site is prepared in compliance with this document remains with the customer.
For information and guidance purposes only, a list is provided, in general terms, of these matters for which the customer is responsible. This list is not intended to be comprehensive, and in no way modifies, alters, or limits the responsibility of the customer for all aspects of adequate site preparation.
Teradata staff will be available to answer questions relating to the contents of this document, except where:
• The customer has been notified that a full or partial consultant service is available and/or that Teradata will be willing to undertake a preliminary or final site survey, and
• The customer shall have entered into a formal contract with Teradata for provision of the same.
No comment, suggestion, or advice offered or not offered about preparation of the site, nor any inspection of the site whether before or after preparation, is to be taken as approval of the location of the site and equipment, or of its preparation, and Teradata will not be liable in respect of any comment, suggestion, or advice given by its staff, or in respect of any failure to give advice. Problems caused by a customer’s failure to meet any of the site prep requirements may result in Teradata doing any, or all, of the following:
• Charging the customer for additional services
• Reclassifying a reported problem priority
• Being relieved of the obligation to perform services
Finally, only the customer can know the full extent of damage which may be caused to his business by reason of failure of equipment which is to be installed. For this reason it is the customer's responsibility to ascertain the extent of any such possible damage to his existing or planned business, and to effect full insurance in respect of it.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
The customer must do or provide the following:
• When required by Teradata, provide the Teradata customer service representative with appropriate drawings that indicate:
• Location of the equipment
• Site wiring (power and signal, paths and lengths)
• Location of other equipment capable of generating electrical noise, electromagnetic interference, heat, etc.
• Make building alterations necessary to meet wiring and other site requirements.
• Provide and install all communications cables, wall jacks, special connectors, and associated hardware.
• Make sure all applicable codes, regulations, and laws (including, but not limited to, electrical, building, safety, and health) are met.
• Provide and install auxiliary power or other equipment as required.
• Make sure the environmental requirements of the system/unit are met.
• Provide floor coverings and environmental systems that limit or control static electricity build-up and discharge.
• Allow Teradata ServiceConnect remote connectivity.
AC POWER LINE TRANSIENT PROTECTION
In the process of power distribution, transient electrical energy (including, but not limited to, lightning strikes, intermittent short circuits, and switching transients) can be introduced on to power lines. Such transient energy can be very damaging to electronic hardware and can also cause data corruption.
Under these circumstances, Teradata Corporation recommends the use of AC power transient suppressors and data (communication) line transient suppressors. Such protective devices are intended to guard against power and data line transients that can result in hardware damage and various system or program errors.
Improvement of any deficiencies in power quality is a customer responsibility. Malfunction and/or component failure as a result of power quality problems are/is not covered by Teradata Maintenance Agreement. Teradata Corporation accepts no liability for any such occurrence nor for its consequences.
DATA LINE TRANSIENT PROTECTION
The nature of the transient phenomenon may extend to the data communication lines connected to this equipment. It is the responsibility of the customer to install and connect a data line transient suppression system to correct or prevent any deficiencies. Malfunction and/or component failure as a result of data quality problems are/is not covered by the Teradata Maintenance Agreement. Teradata Corporation accepts no liability for any such occurrence or for its consequences.

Server Management Network Topology
Server management subsystems enable overall system monitoring and control. The subsystems include dedicated and redundant Ethernet-based networks that interconnect all managed chassis and VMSs.
The server management network consists of two physical networks on separate paths:
• Primary network — for direct management communications of all managed chassis in all cabinets, through Server Management Web (SMWeb) Services.
• Secondary network — for backup communications of all chassis that support a second Ethernet connection, through SMWeb Services.
Server Management Network Interface
Server management software runs on each CMIC in the system. One CMIC is designated as the single operational view (SOV) CMIC. The SOV CMIC hosts the SMWeb Services home page and provides applications and services for server management in a single server management domain.
Server management can be configured for a single system or multiple systems (multi-system configuration).
Access to the SMWeb Services home page is through the customer LAN or the server management LAN.
The server management LAN is a connection between the CMICs and the chassis they monitor.
Note:
The Service Workstation (SWS) or Service Workstation VM (SWS VM) is one of the chassis a CMIC monitors. Teradata Customer Support uses the SWS for service operations.
Note:
The level of service depends on the service agreements between Teradata and the customer.

Collectives
Figure 6: Examples of CMIC Collectives in a System with Multiple Cabinets
• In a system, cabinets in the server management network are organized into collectives.
Note:
The system number, collective numbers, and cabinet numbers are viewable in SMWeb Services web applications.
• Depending on your system configuration, a system has one or more collectives.
• A CMIC VM provides server management services for a collective, with one or more cabinets per collective. One cabinet in a collective must contain a CMIC VM hosted by a VMS.
Note:
In single-system and multi-systemconfigurations running CMIC 11.01 or 11.02, a single CMIC VM managing multiple cabinets without CMIC VMs can manage up to 32 nodes and servers.
• The following cabinets can be configured with or without a CMIC VM hosted by a VMS: processing/ storage cabinet, BYNET V5 InfiniBand switch cabinet, or Platform Framework Cabinet (PFC).
• A collective can contain one or more of the following cabinets. At least one of the cabinets must contain a
CMIC VM hosted by a VMS.
∘ Processing/storage cabinet
∘ BYNET V5 cabinet (if used)
∘ PFC (if used)
• Each collective in the system has a unique collective ID (collective number).
• Each cabinet in the system has a unique cabinet ID (cabinet number).
• Collectives and cabinets are numbered as follows:
∘ Collectives are numbered consecutively, beginning with Collective 1.
∘ Cabinets are numbered consecutively, beginning with Cabinet 1.
• In the collectives shown:
∘ Collective 1 contains one cabinet (Cabinet 1) managed by one CMIC VM hosted by a VMS in the cabinet.
∘ Collective 2 contains two cabinets (Cabinet 2 and Cabinet 3). Both cabinets are managed by one
CMIC VM hosted by a VMS in Cabinet 2.

Single-System Configurations
In a single-system configuration, server management monitors and manages a single instance of Teradata.
The system has a unique system name. All the nodes and disk arrays in the system must share a common
Server Management Domain and a common Site ID configured in server management.
Multi-System Configurations
In a multi-system configuration:
• All systems must be running the same version of SMWeb Services (11.01 or later).
• All server management switches in individual systems are joined together in a single server management domain.
• The multi-system configuration has a single server management Site ID.
Nodes in all multi-system configurations share the BYNET V5 InfiniBand switches.
Each system in a multi-system configuration is assigned a unique system name. For example:
• One system name is assigned to each Teradata Database node and disk array in a Teradata system.
• Another system name is assigned to the nodes in an Aster cluster.
• Another system name is assigned to the nodes in a Hadoop cluster.
Shared system components (collectives and cabinets, VMSs, BYNET V5 InfiniBand switches, server management switches, and TMSs) are not assigned system names.
Note:
Contact Teradata Customer Support to verify which Teradata, Aster, and Hadoop systems are valid in multi-system configurations, such as a Unified Data Architecture (UDA) environment.

Disk Storage Interconnect
Nodes and disk arrays are interconnected into a clique configuration for fault tolerance. If a node in a clique fails, its tasks are automatically moved over to the other nodes in the clique. The other nodes in the clique have direct access to all disk arrays in the clique. The system continues running minus the failed node.
Each Teradata database processing (TPA) node has redundant connections to the disk array in its clique. All links are point to point.

Uncrating and Installation
Uncrating the Equipment
Important Information
Read the Open Me First document.
Customers, together with their designated movers, are responsible for physically uncrating and moving the cabinets. The Teradata representatives and the customer must be aware of the following information, and the information must be provided to the movers.
Note:
Cabinets are very tall and do not fit into an elevator on a shipping pallet.
WARNING:
The size and weight of the cabinet require that professional movers and riggers deliver the crated units.
To prepare to transport, move, and install a cabinet that is not fully loaded, the account team can estimate the weight using the tools provided in Service Bulletin 502 (SB502).
WARNING:
The cabinet is shipped in a crate with a built-in skid under it. This skid has a clearance of 9.5 cm (3.75 in.) for a forklift or pallet jack to move the unit. The increased height of the shipping container may preclude moving the unit without uncrating it.
WARNING:
The cabinet is top heavy. Do not push it from the side. Push it from front to back. Never move the cabinet with only one person.
Notice:
To prevent or minimize condensation on the system's internal and external surfaces, avoid exposure to extreme temperature or humidity changes when moving it from the uncrating area to its destination.
Tools Needed
• Pallet jack (to move crated units)
• Adjustable wrench
• Knife or scissors
• Large pliers or tongue and groove pliers
• Metal shears (to cut banding)
• 9/16-inch (14 mm*) wrench
• Hammer or large flat-blade screwdriver (to pry off clips)
1700 Platform Product and Site Preparation Guide 75
Chapter 4: Uncrating and Installation
Uncrating the Equipment
• Lift gate or raised dock (to move crated units from truck)
• Socket wrench with 1/2-inch (13 mm*) and 7/16-inch (11 mm*) sockets
• #3 Phillips screwdriver (to attach hex spacers)
• 1/2-inch (13 mm*) wrench (to remove shipping brackets)
• Hook-and-loop strips or cable ties of appropriate length
* Use of SAE tools is recommended. Metric tool equivalent is only approximation.
Uncrating a Cabinet
The following instructions are intended for the customer or designated parties (such as professional movers).
1. Review the Open Me First document.
2. Before you begin unpacking the cabinet:
• Make sure adequate help is available to unpack the crated cabinets.
• Verify that the floor loading at the installation destination is within specifications for the total
number of cabinet systems and other cabinets to be installed. See Data Center Considerations
for additional information.
• Check that the floor can support the concentrated floor loading. Be especially careful with vented floor tiles in sites with raised floors.
WARNING:
Vented floor tiles cannot support as much weight as solid tiles. When moving cabinets, replace vented floor tiles with solid floor tiles along the path where cabinets will be rolled. Failure to do so may cause damage or collapse of vented floor tiles, resulting in physical damage and/or bodily injury.
Caution:
Make sure the equipment is in position before allowing the forklift or pallet jack to leave. A fully
configured cabinet is very heavy. See Weight and Floor Loading for cabinet weights.
3. Locate the panel labeled RAMP.
This is the front of the container.
4. Orient the container so the panel labeled RAMP has at least 3.7 m (12 ft) of clearance area.
The width required in front of the container is 1.8 m (6 ft).

b) If condensation is present, allow additional stabilization periods of two hours until there are no signs of condensation.
Inspecting the Cabinet for Damage
Both the Teradata representative and the customer should inspect the cabinet for damage.
1. Remove any coverings and plastic bags to check the cabinet for damage.
2. Check the cabinets and panels to ensure there are no scrapes, dents, or scratches.
3. Check the switches and indicators to ensure the plastic covers and markings are clear and switch movements are operating properly.
Disposing of the Shipping Materials
1. The customer must dispose of the shipping materials in accordance with applicable procedures or local regulations.
No hazardous materials are used in the shipping materials.
2. [Optional] The customer should save one or two undamaged containers and the shipping materials for possible future use.

Repacking for Shipment
The customer is responsible for repacking the equipment when repacking is necessary.
1. Refer to the figures in Uncrating a Cabinet , if needed, during this procedure.
2. Orient the container so the front side (the side where the panel labeled RAMP will be attached) is facing the cabinet.
This requires at least 3.7 m (12 ft) of clearance area in front of the container. The width required in front is 1.8 m (6 ft).
3. Attach the ramp to the front of the pallet using the rectangular metal brackets.
Secure the ramp using four of the 3/8-inch x 1 1/4-inch long bolts, and four 1-inch flat washers (that held the shipping bracket to the pallet). There are 3/8-inch Tee nuts in both the pallet and the ramp.
Make sure the ramp is securely fastened to the pallet.
4. Make sure adequate help is available to support the unit at the front and the rear.
Caution:
A fully configured cabinet is very heavy.
5. Position the cabinet so that its front goes up the ramp first.
6. Position one person at the front of the cabinet to help guide the unit while two other people at the rear slowly roll it up the ramp and onto the container.
7. Bolt the shipping brackets on the front and rear of the cabinet and pallet.
8. Replace the plastic bag, and protective foam collars from top and middle.
9. Attach the side and rear panels of the shipping container with spring clips.
10. Attach the other side panel with spring clips.

Cables
Cable Management
In-cabinet cable harnesses are used for server management in processing/storage cabinets. BYNET cabinets do not use cable harnesses.
Harness cables are cut to specific lengths and assembled to accommodate specific breakouts to each of the chassis in the cabinet. This minimizes the potential for incorrect cabling and the need for cable dressing.
Each cable in the harness assembly is labeled at both ends.
Components that do not have a cable harness have point-to-point cabling. Each cable in point-to-point cabling is labeled at both ends.
See Cable Management Protocol in the platform Hardware Installation Guide for more information about cable management.
Network Cables and Hardware
Note the type of network connections to be used, and make sure that the correct cabling and hardware will be on site during installation. Although network adapters are ordered and provided with systems, the customer is expected to supply the cabling and external hardware for the following:
• Ethernet adapters (see the cable lengths section in this guide)
• HCA adapters (see the HCA cables section in this guide)
Note:
All other cables and hardware are supplied during staging. Cabling kits are also available.
HCA FICON Cables and Connectors
Note:
Teradata does not provide FICON cables for HCAs. You must obtain FICON cables from third-party vendors.

Moving and Handling Guidelines
Following are guidelines to help the customer prepare for system delivery.
• The size and weight of a system requires that professional movers and riggers deliver the crated units.
• Make sure that the correct equipment and adequate help is available to move the system to its on-site destination.
• Avoid exposing the cabinet to extreme temperature and/or humidity changes when moving it from the uncrating area to its on-site destination.
• Systems are mounted on casters to facilitate moving. They have adjustable glides to facilitate leveling in their final installed positions.
• The cabinet is weighted toward the front by the equipment. Roll it backwards, pushing from the front of the cabinet, to avoid tipping.
• Maximum degree of tip allowed on the side of a single rack: 10° off of vertical.
• If the site requires use of an elevator to move the system into place, verify the load capacity of the elevator.
• Ensure that the floors along the route to the final installation location can support the weight of the cabinets and do not impede their movement. If necessary, have the customer replace vented tiles with solid tiles.
• If there are any steeply-angled ramps along the installation route, advise the movers. They may need pulleys.
• Floor vents are not designed to handle the weight of a cabinet. Make sure that the cabinet can be negotiated around them.
• Verify that the floor at the site can support the weight of the cabinet. Be especially careful with perforated floor tiles in sites with raised floors.

APPENDIX B
Site Power Distribution Planning
AC Input Power Distribution
Dual AC Concept
The system is referred to as a dual AC system because the power subsystem in each cabinet can accommodate power from two separate power sources.
Each processing/storage cabinet has either two AC feeder boxes (one on each side of the cabinet), or four AC feeder boxes (two on each side of the cabinet).
• The AC feeder box(es) on one side of the cabinet must be connected to one power source, and the AC feeder box(es) on the other side of the cabinet must be connected to a separate power source.
• By default:
∘ If a cabinet has two AC feeder boxes, both share current.
∘ If a cabinet has four AC feeder boxes, the top two AC feeder boxes share current, and the bottom two
AC feeder boxes share current.
• If the power source connected to the AC feeder box(es) on one side of the cabinet is lost, the current on the AC feeder box(es) connected to the remaining power source will increase to take over power for the lost source; however, the system will experience some operational degradation.
Each BYNET and PFC cabinet has two AC boxes (one blue AC box and one orange AC box), providing dedicated inlets for the two power sources.
• Power cords from blue AC boxes must be connected to one power source, and power cords from orange
AC boxes must be connected to a separate power source.
• By default, current is shared between the two AC boxes.
• If one power source is lost, the current on the AC box connected to the remaining power source will increase to take over power for the lost source; however, the system will experience some operational degradation.
Note that power connections to some Ethernet switches are not redundant. A system that loses operation on some of its power cords will lose operation on Ethernet switches that are connected to a single power supply.
For information about which AC boxes provide power to which Ethernet switches, see the Cabling appendix and the Chassis Port Reference appendix in the Hardware Installation Guide for your system.
Site Wiring Options for Dual AC
Dual AC can be implemented at a customer site in one of the following ways:
• Two separate utility power sources
• Two separate circuit breaker panels
• Two site UPSs
1700 Platform Product and Site Preparation Guide 103
Appendix B: Site Power Distribution Planning
AC Input Power Distribution
Site wiring decisions should be made with an understanding of how the customer will benefit from the dual
AC feature.
Note:
A site UPS is not required.
Separate Power Sources
Some customers have two separate sources of AC power. For example, a customer’s site may receive power from two different power substations. In this case, left side AC feeder box(es) and blue AC box(es) can be connected to one source, and right side AC feeder box(es) and orange AC box(es) can be connected to the other source. If the source supplying the AC feeder box(es) or AC box on one side of the cabinet fails, the current on the AC feeder box(es) or AC box on the other side of the cabinet will increase, allowing the system to continue operating.
Separate Circuit Breaker Panels
Some customers are concerned about the loss of power to the system during electrical maintenance work on the site. In this case, the system can be wired so left side AC feeder box(es) and blue AC box(es) can be connected to one circuit breaker panel, and right side AC feeder box(es) and orange AC box(es) can be connected to another circuit breaker panel. If the circuit breaker panel supplying the AC feeder box(es) or
AC box on one side of the cabinet is accidentally shut off, the current on the AC feeder box(es) or AC box on the other side of the cabinet will increase, allowing the system to continue operating.
Two Site UPSs
Some customers may have two site UPSs. If so, the site can be considered as having two separate power sources.
System Load Configurations
Notice:
All power receptacles at the site must be wired to support the rated load specified in
Input Power Plugs and Receptacles
.
Teradata power subsystems use load sharing by default. Sites can expect an approximate increase of 100% in load on the active line when the other source of power fails. That is, a source has 50% of the load to start with, and when AC is lost from the other source, the remaining 50% of the load transfers to the active source.
Notice:
Products with four cords need special attention when plugging in at sites with redundant power to ensure proper operation if one power source fails.
• If the cabinet uses four cords and has four AC feeder boxes, the cords from the two left-hand side AC feeder boxes go to one site source, and the cords from the two right-hand side AC feeder boxes go to the second site source.
Site Wiring for System Integrity
For maximum system integrity, observe the following:
104 1700 Platform Product and Site Preparation Guide
Appendix B: Site Power Distribution Planning
AC Power Cord Egress from Top or Bottom of Cabinet
• All power receptacles at the site must be wired to support the rated load specified in

• All system components should be on dedicated branch circuits from a distribution panel that does not supply any switched inductive loads (motors, air conditioners, etc.).
• Nothing else should be connected to the branch circuits except other computer equipment.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be accessible.

The cabinet uses AC feeder boxes mounted to the sidewalls on the inside of the cabinet. The AC feeder boxes allow approximately 2.74 m (9 ft) of cable egress out of the top or bottom of the cabinet.
To ensure that the cabinet is configured according to the customer's power cord egress preference (top or bottom egress), the cabinet must be ordered with the power feature for top power cord egress or bottom power cord egress.
The BYNET switch cabinet uses AC boxes mounted in U spaces at the bottom of the cabinet. The AC boxes allow the power cord to egress approximately 4.27 m (14 ft) out of the bottom of the rack or approximately
2.44 (8 ft) out the top of the rack. The BYNET switch cabinet does not have a power feature that specifies top power cord egress or bottom power cord egress.

Three-Phase AC Box - Phase Current Balancing
Phase currents are not balanced on three-phase AC feeder boxes. If you have more than one cabinet with the three-phase AC feeder box, you will need to rotate the phase connections on each outlet to minimize the aggregate site imbalance. Consult this table for how to connect the phases to the receptacle in order to rotate the phase connections.
Notice:
With a three-phase Wye AC feeder box, the phase imbalance results in a current on the neutral wire.

Cooling Considerations for Installation Site
About Cooling Capacity Planning
Cooling capacity planning is imperative to ensure Teradata systems perform at the expected reliability and availability levels.
Cooling capacity planning starts with Teradata providing cabinet and system power consumption or heat load estimates of hardware equipment and ends with the customer supplying sufficient cooling capacity to
Teradata equipment. The customer is responsible for providing sufficient cooling to Teradata systems to ensure Teradata equipment operates within recommended environmental specifications at all times. See
The Account Team should use the Estimator tools in Service Bulletin 502 (SB 502) to estimate the heat load of a particular Teradata system. Always use the latest version, as the tool is constantly evolving.
Disclaimer
The calculated power consumption levels are estimates only. They typically represent the worst sustained power consumption levels. The unsustained power consumption levels can be higher during system power up. The actual power consumption will differ depending on operating temperatures, applications, etc.
The calculated floor space is also an estimate only. Aisle widths may differ from one data center to another.
About Cold and Hot Aisles in Floor Layout
The system hardware employs front-to-rear air cooling technology. Cooling air enters the front of each cabinet through the openings in the doors, and heated air is exhausted from the rear of each cabinet.
Cold aisles are the aisle spaces between two rows of cabinets that face each other, front to front. A cabinet row with the front facing open space is also called a cold aisle.
Hot aisles are the aisle spaces between two rows of cabinets that are aligned rear to rear. A cabinet row with the rear facing open space is also considered a hot aisle.
The cold aisle must remain cold. Do not attempt to cool down hot aisles. They are intended to be hot, and are not an indication of environment problems. Cold aisles must remain cold, and hot aisles are supposed to remain hot.

About Equipment Floor Layout
When designing floor layouts, it is important to consider future growth.
Equipment floor layout is determined by:
• Number of cabinets
• Power consumption levels of all cabinets
• Available floor space
• Available cold air delivery capacity, including:
∘ Cold air volume
∘ Temperature of conditioned air
∘ Cooling environment (such as open air, containment, liquid cooling, and so forth)
Use cabinet power, cooling air information, and the following charts to determine how many tiles per cabinet are required in the floor layout.
Note:
The account team should use the Supply_Air_Power_Tool in Service Bulletin 502 (SB502) to determine specific supply air requirements in relation to different floor layouts.

For a single cabinet row, two vented tiles per Teradata hardware cabinet are typically required. A minimum distance of 2.4 m (8 ft)—or four floor tiles—is recommended in the cold aisles, where the fronts of two rows of cabinets face each other. Perforated floor panels or floor grills must fill the cold aisles. To meet the cold air delivery requirements for a Teradata system, wider aisle width in cold aisles may be necessary to accommodate more perforated floor panels or floor grills. All of the following must be considered in determining how to meet the environmental specifications, specifically the recommended temperature and relative humidity ranges:
• number of perforated tiles in cold aisle
• type of perforated floor panels (opening percentage)
• temperature of conditioned air
BYNET cabinet placement BYNET cabinets should be placed in the center to minimize cable lengths from node cabinets to BYNET cabinets. Leave space for additional BYNET cabinets to allow room for future growth.
To minimize cable lengths from nodes in processing/storage cabinets to InfiniBand switches in BYNET cabinets, BYNET cabinets should be placed in the center of cabinet rows or at the end of cabinet rows. The location depends on cable layout.
Hardware Placement Guidelines for Non-Raised Floor and
Containment Environment
If a Teradata system is to be installed in a containment environment or a non-raised floor environment, the site team must consult with Teradata regional installation personnel, Teradata Customer Support and
Engineering. The site team will need to prepare a detailed site survey and analysis to help the installation personnel determine the proper equipment layouts that meet the stated environmental requirements for the system.
Consider and ensure the following when designing the floor layout:
• Servicing clearances are sufficient
• Cold air requirements meet the standards established in Environmental Requirements
Include the following personnel when discussing the layout:
• Facility personnel at customer site, to discuss cold air delivery systems and other data center-related issues
• Teradata regional installation personnel, which should include assistance from Teradata Engineering

How to Measure Environmental Elements
Environmental Measurement Instruments
Following are recommendations for handheld digital meters that can measure temperature, relative humidity, dew point, altitude, and airflow velocity:

Environmental Elements
Note:
Other calibrated instruments that can measure these parameters can also be used.
• A Kestrel 4000 or similar flow meter (with memory function to log data points for predetermined time intervals)
• An Omega HHF81 or similar thermometer
About Measuring Temperature and Humidity
Temperature and humidity levels for Teradata equipment are specified in Environmental Requirements
.
These environmental specifications are identical to ASHRAE specifications and refer to air conditions at the equipment inlet. The equipment inlet for Teradata equipment is the front of the cabinet. Measurements of air temperature and humidity must be taken at the front of the cabinet.
If using one of the instrument readers recommended under
Environmental Measurement Instruments ,
orient the air flow impellers parallel to the door inlet vents, so that air going into the door opening will pass through the impellers and sensors.
The following drawing shows the positions (bottom, middle, and top) from which temperature and humidity measurements should be taken. To achieve measurement accuracy, place temperature, humidity sensors, and probes close to the vents on the front door of the cabinet, but do not allow the temperature, humidity sensors, or probes to touch any part of the door.

About Measuring Air Flow
For environmental evaluation, you may need to measure air flow rates of conditioned air entering a computer room through openings that include:
• Vented floor tiles, including both perforated tiles (typically having an overall opening area of approximately 20%), and grate tiles (typically having an overall opening area greater than 50%)
• Floor tiles with unblocked openings (such as cable cutouts)
• Cold air diffusers in overhead cold air delivery systems
1700 Platform Product and Site Preparation Guide 135
Appendix C: Site Environmental Planning
Environmental Elements
Two methods for measuring air flow rate through these openings are:
• Using an Alnor meter
• Using an air flow meter and a handmade air capture hood
The Alnor flow rate meter is a specialized instrument that can be used to directly measure air flow rate. It has an air capture hood, and is instrumented to measure air flow rate in m
3
/min. However, the
Alnor meter is relatively expensive and lacks portability, even when folded.

A cost-effective and portable method to get reasonably accurate air flow rate measurements is to use a digital air velocity meter and a handmade cardboard air capture hood.
Meter and Handmade Air Capture Hood
, and an air velocity meter set to feet per minute (fpm), the flow rate in cubic feet per minute (CFM) is the velocity reading in feet per minute (fpm). The calculation is straightforward because the top opening area is exactly one square foot (ft
2
).
Because any air capture hood restricts air flow to a certain extent, thus introducing air flow impedance and associated measurement errors, an instrument calibration is required to ensure measurement accuracy. The following correction table is the result of calibration with the hood of the preferred dimensions. If a hood of different dimensions is constructed and used, a new calibration will be required.

For example, if air flow velocity measured with an air capture hood of the preferred dimensions is 250 ft/ min, the actual flow rate is estimated to be 250 x 1.18 = 295 CFM.
If the opening is too small for a hood of the preferred dimensions, flow rates can be estimated by measuring the flow velocity and multiplying it by the open area.
To derive flow rates using units other than CFM, use the following conversion table.

1. Make a four-sided cardboard air hood with two open ends:
• large end: 61 cm x 61 cm (2 ft x 2 ft) (standard floor tile size)
• small end: 30.5 cm x 30.5 cm (1 ft x 1 ft)
2. Place the hood with the large open end over a vented floor tile.
Minimize air flow leakage by sealing seams on the hood, and by pressing the hood firmly against the floor.
3. Hold the air flow meter at the small open end of the hood, in the center, to get a reading of the air velocity.
4. Convert the air velocity reading to the air flow rate.
The measurement in cubic feet per minute is:
flow rate (ft

/min) = flow velocity (ft/min) x area (1 sq. ft on small open end of hood)

Evaluating Environmental Elements Before and After an
Installation
Teradata strongly recommends that air flow measurements be performed before and after equipment installation. As soon as the site for the system installation is confirmed and accessible, perform the initial air flow evaluations. After the equipment installation is completed, repeat the air flow evaluations to verify preinstallation measurements.
Additionally, perform temperature and humidity measurements for each cabinet after the equipment is in
.
Evaluating Air Flow
1. Before installation, lay down the vented and cutout tiles according to the floor layout.
See the top box in the figure.
138
2. Request that all dedicated computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units be turned on.
1700 Platform Product and Site Preparation Guide
Appendix C: Site Environmental Planning
Environmental Elements
This ensures that airflow characteristics above and below the raised floor are consistent before and after installation.
3. Measure the flow rate from every vented tile.
Heat load differences before and after installation produce measurement differences in temperature and humidity levels. Therefore, temperature and humidity measurements taken before installation are of limited use.
4. Measure and record flow rates from tile cutouts that do not have brush seals.
This allows you to understand the extent of air leakage.
5. Compare the flow rate through vented tiles to the chilled air requirement guidelines (see About
).
If the airflow measurements do not meet the environmental requirements, it may be necessary to rearrange the floor layout , or increase the number of vented tiles per cabinet.
6. After the equipment installation is completed, as shown in the lower box in the figure, repeat the air flow measurements to verify pre-installation measurements.
Evaluating Temperature and Humidity
Once the system is in production, take temperature and humidity measurements for each cabinet, as
outlined in About Measuring Temperature and Humidity
, to ensure that environmental requirements are met.
Even if all preinstallation requirements are met, it is still possible that hot spots exist in a data center. Since rearrangement of the cabinets at this point is probably not feasible, it is recommended to switch out existing vented tiles where appropriate with vented tiles that have a higher opening percentage.

About Environmental Contaminants
Electronic hardware is generally sensitive to airborne contaminants. The computer room should be designed to achieve a high level of cleanliness and to minimize airborne dusts, gasses, and vapors than can potentially impact performance and reliability of the hardware within defined limits. Failure to maintain the computer room according to the standard may result in intermittent interference and/or actual component failures.
For details of the clean room standard, refer to:
• ASHRAE HVAC Applications: Chapter 16, Clean Spaces. American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and
Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc. 2003 http://www.ashrae.org/
• 2011 Gaseous and Particulate Contamination Guidelines for Data Centers
1. Go to http://www.ashrae.org/ .
1700 Platform Product and Site Preparation Guide 139
Appendix C: Site Environmental Planning
Environmental Elements
2. Search for contamination.
3. Open the 2011 Gaseous and Particulate Contamination Guidelines for Data Centers PDF file.
For particulate (dust) contamination, ASHRAE recommends that data centers be kept clean to ISO 14644-1
Class 8, which may be achieved simply by specifying the following means of filtration:
• The room air may be continuously filtered with MERV 8 filters, as recommended by ASHRAE Standard
127 (ASHRAE 2007).
• Air entering a data center may be filtered with MERV 11 or MERV 13 filters as recommended by
ASHRAE (2009b).
For gaseous contamination, ASHRAE recommends that data center operators maintain an environment with corrosion rates within the following guideline per ISA-71.04 (ISA 1985):
• Copper reactivity rate of less than 300 Å/month
Further, due to limitations from copper reactivity, ASHRAE recommends the addition of the following guideline in addition to the above copper reactivity rate:
• Silver reactivity rate of less than 200 Å/month
