Computer room requirements

The goal of a computer room is to maintain an ideal environment for computer equipment, including
this system.
Make sure your computer room adheres to all national and local building codes for a data
center/computer room environment.
HP recommends these guidelines:
• Locate the computer room away from exterior walls of the building to avoid the heat gain from
windows and exterior wall surfaces.
• When exterior windows are unavoidable, use windows that are double or tripled glazed and
shaded to prevent direct sunlight from entering the computer room.
• Maintain the computer room at a positive pressure relative to the surrounding spaces to reduce
introduction of contaminants.
• Install a vapor barrier around the entire computer room envelope (floors/walls/ceiling) to help
keep moisture out of the room. This is especially important if your computer room is located under-
ground.
• Caulk and vapor-seal all pipes and cables that penetrate the computer room envelope.
