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.

Single-Purpose Cabinet Descriptions
Cabinet Conventions for Single-Purpose Cabinets
The Teradata Managed Server cabinet can be configured as a single-purpose cabinet for BAR
configurations, TMS applications, channel servers and/or ECS servers, and Service
Workstation(s) (for servicing and maintenance of a Teradata system).
Note: In addition, the Teradata Managed Server cabinet can be configured for multiple uses.
See Multiple-Purpose Cabinet Descriptions for the options available in multi-purpose
cabinet builds.
The placement of the hardware components in a single-purpose cabinet follows these general
cabinet build conventions:
• Each chassis has a standard position in the cabinet, and is numbered from the bottom up.
• Chassis that are managed over the server management network have assigned chassis
ID numbers. The chassis ID number identifies the chassis by position/type in the
management interface.
• Unmanaged chassis are numbered by position for cabling purposes only. The numbers
do not appear in the management interface as identification of the chassis.
• The general build sequence is from bottom up.
• If the configuration includes one or more Dell R730 TMSs, the cabinet holds a maximum
of 6 TMSs.
• If the configuration includes one or more Dell R730xd TMSs or TMSSs, the cabinet holds
a maximum of 6 TMSs or TMSSs.
• Ethernet switches are loaded and accessible only from the rear of the cabinet. All other
chassis are loaded from the front of the cabinet, and accessible from both front and rear.

Cabinet Conventions for Multiple-Purpose Cabinets
The Teradata Managed Server cabinet can be configured as a multiple-purpose cabinet that
includes any combination of BAR configurations, TMS applications, channel servers and/or
ECS servers, NCSs, and Service Workstations (for servicing and maintenance of a Teradata
system).
The placement of the hardware components in a multiple-purpose cabinet follows these
general cabinet build conventions:
• Each chassis has a standard position in the cabinet, and is numbered from the bottom up,
except where noted in the general build sequence below.
• Chassis that are managed over the server management network have assigned chassis ID
numbers. The chassis ID number identifies the chassis by position/type in the server
management interface.
• Unmanaged chassis are numbered by position for cabling purposes only. The numbers do
not appear in the management interface as identification of the chassis.
• Ethernet switches are loaded and accessible only from the rear of the cabinet. All other
chassis are loaded from the front of the cabinet, and accessible from both front and rear.
The general build sequence is as follows:
1. If there is a KVM (maximum of 1), install it in U20.
2. If there is a system VMS, install it in U21.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Note: Only 1 SWS or system VMS can be attached to the KVM. Additional SWSs and
system VMSs are accessed through the SWS or VMS attached to the KVM.
If there is a Brocade Fibre Channel switch, install it in U37.
If there are BYA32S switches (maximum of 2), install it in U25-29.
If there are Mellanox 36-port BYNET V5/InfiniBand switches (maximum of 2), install
them in U8, U12, U16, and U37.
If SKM/OKM encryption servers are included, install them bottom-up in U5, U9, U13,
U17, U21, U25, U29, and U31.
If Oracle SL500 base chassis are included, install them top-down in U29-36, U21-28,
U13-20, U5-12, or U25-32, U17-24, and U9-16.
If Oracle SL500 expansion chassis are included, install them top-down in U29-36,
U21-28, U13-20, U5-12, or U25-32, U17-24, and U9-16.
Notice: The Oracle SL500 has a mechanical arm that moves up and down. Therefore, the base
and expansion units must always be adjacent to each other.
9. If a Quantum i500 base chassis is included, install it in U30-34.
10. If Quantum i500 expansion chassis are included, install them top-down in U21-29 and
U12-20.
Notice: The Quantum i500 has a mechanical arm that moves up and down. Therefore, the base
and expansion units must always be adjacent to each other.
11. If Quantum i80 chassis are included, install them bottom-up in U5-10, U13-18, U21-26,
U29-34, or U9-14, U17-22, and U25-30.
12. If Data Domain 890 and ES30 chassis are included, install them bottom-up:

Cabinet Conventions for BAR Storage Cabinets
The Teradata Managed Server cabinet can be configured to include BAR storage chassis from
different vendors.
Note: For configuring a Teradata Managed Server cabinet with Teradata chassis and BAR
storage chassis from different vendors, see Cabinet Conventions for Multiple-Purpose
Cabinets.
The placement of the hardware components in a cabinet with only BAR storage chassis
follows these general cabinet build conventions:
• Each chassis has a standard position in the cabinet, and is numbered from the bottom up,
except where noted in the general build sequence below.
• Chassis that are managed over the server management network have assigned chassis ID
numbers. The chassis ID number identifies the chassis by position/type in the server
management interface.
• Unmanaged chassis are numbered by position for cabling purposes only. The numbers do
not appear in the management interface as identification of the chassis.
• Ethernet switches are loaded and accessible only from the rear of the cabinet. All other
chassis are loaded from the front of the cabinet, and accessible from both front and rear.
The space allocation and build order in the cabinet is as follows:
1. If Oracle SL500 base chassis are to be added, install them top-down in U29-36, U21-28,
U13-20, U5-12, or U25-32, U17-24, and U9-16.
2. If Oracle SL500 expansion chassis are to be added, install them top-down in U29-36,
U21-28, U13-20, U5-12, or U25-32, U17-24, and U9-16.
Notice: The Oracle SL500 has a mechanical arm that moves up and down. Therefore, the base
and expansion units must always be adjacent to each other.
3. If a Quantum i500 base chassis is to be added, install it in U30-34.
4. If Quantum i500 expansion chassis are to be added, install them top-down in U21-29
and U12-20.
Notice: The Quantum i500 has a mechanical arm that moves up and down. Therefore, the base
and expansion units must always be adjacent to each other.
5. If Quantum i80 chassis are to be added, install them bottom-up in U5-10, U13-18,
U21-26, U29-34, or U9-14, U17-22, and U25-30.
6. If SKM/OKM encryption servers are to be added, install them bottom-up in U5, U9,
U13, U17, U21, U25, U29, and U31.
7. If Data Domain 890 and ES30 chassis are to be added, install them bottom-up:

Product Statements
Proper Cooling and Airflow
Adequate ventilation must be maintained in the front and rear of the rack. See Site
Environmental Planning.
Grounding
This equipment has high leakage current. Reliable earth grounding of this equipment must
be maintained. Grounding is provided by the power plug. The ground wire in each power
cord is connected to a ground terminal in the power plug. The customer must ensure that
the receptacle is properly grounded.
Rack Stabilization
Side stabilizers on the bottom of a stand-alone cabinet must remain in place as installed.
Two or more cabinets must be bolted together to prevent tipping when a chassis is extended.
No more than one chassis should be extended at one time. Extension of more than one
loaded module could cause the rack to tip or fall.
A top-heavy rack could tip or fall. Proper weight distribution must be maintained.
Power On/Off
The power on/off switches on rack chassis do not completely remove AC power. After
shutting down and turning off a subsystem, the AC power cords must be unplugged from
the chassis.
Hazardous Electrical Conditions
Hazardous electrical conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication
cables. Power must be properly removed to access equipment. Contact Teradata Customer
Support for assistance.
Electromagnetic Fields and Electrical Noise
Isolate the server from strong electromagnetic fields and electrical noise produced by
electrical devices (such as elevators, copy machines, air conditioners, large fans, large electric
motors, radio and TV transmitters, and high frequency security devices).
Input Supply
Check nameplate ratings to assure there is no overloading of supply circuits that could have
an effect on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Cabinet Power
The in a cabinet are not intended to provide power to equipment that is not mounted in the
cabinet. Plugging equipment not authorized for the cabinet into the may result in an
overvoltage condition or damage the external equipment.
The cabinet contains more than one AC power cord. To remove all power from the cabinet,
all AC power cords must be disconnected from the site power source. Install the power
outlets so they are near the equipment and easily accessible.

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.
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.

Positioning and Assembling Staged Cabinets
Positioning a Cabinet
The Teradata representative is responsible for advising the movers on the final location for
each cabinet. The Teradata representative may assist in making minor adjustments to the
cabinet placement if he or she determines it is safe to do so.
1 Advise the movers to place the cabinet in position using the worksheets prepared during
the site survey and staging.
Refer to the Open Me First document.
2 Adjust the leveling feet to remove the weight from the casters.
3 Level and align the cabinets.
WARNING: Multiple cabinets must be ganged together for stability. The cabinet may tip when a
heavy module is extended.
Ganging Cabinets
Multiple cabinet configurations require the cabinets to be connected to each other side by
side (ganged). Hex spacers, located between the cabinets, front and rear, are used to gang the
cabinets.
Note: Ganging to legacy cabinets is not supported. It is recommended that ganged legacy
cabinets be spaced one floor tile (24 in.) from current system.
Caution: We recommend that a minimum of all four corners of ganged cabinets be secured with hex
spacers. The cabinets need to be secure at the top and bottom of both the front and rear.
Notice: Actual cabinet width is 61 cm (24 in.) without side panels. To ensure exact alignment for
ganged cabinets, use the exact width when drawing up floor plans and cutting floor tiles.
Notice: Cabinets must be ganged together before the customer installs seismic bracing.
1 If a cabinet has side panels attached, remove one or both, depending on which side or
sides will mate.
Set aside the panels for reattaching at the ends of the row.
2 Remove the doors.
3 Locate the cutouts in the outer edge of the rack frame.
4 Align the cutouts of one cabinet with the cutouts on the adjacent cabinet.
You will be installing a minimum of four hex spacers, one at each corner of the rack.

8 On the opposite side, insert the second screw and washer through the rack and into the
hex spacer.
9 Hold the hex spacer with a wrench or pliers, and tighten the screws until the cabinet
frames come together.
10 Repeat steps 6 through 9 for the remaining frame corners (three).
11 Replace the doors.
Installing Stand-Alone Cabinet Stabilizers
Use cabinet stabilizers for stand-alone cabinet configurations only. The side stabilizer kit
comes with a left and a right stabilizer and four bolts. The bracket for the stabilizers is
incorporated in the front bottom rail of the cabinet.
WARNING: You must install side stabilizers for stand-alone cabinet configurations. Stabilization is
required to prevent tipping of the cabinet when a heavy module is extended.
Notice: Do not block vented tiles with the stabilizers.
1 Align the cabinet so that the stabilizers will not block vented tiles once they are installed.
2 Place the left stabilizer on the floor in front of the left front of the cabinet.
3 Slip the left stabilizer under the front lip of the cabinet cross member and adjust the
leveling feet to align the bolt holes.
4 Attach the left front stabilizer to the cabinet cross member, using two of the screws
supplied in the kit.
5 Place the right stabilizer on the floor in front of the right front of the cabinet.

Cable Management
In-cabinet cable harnesses are used for server management and power.
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.
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 ESCON Cables and Connectors
Note: Teradata does not provide ESCON cables for HCAs. You must obtain ESCON cables
from third-party vendors.
Cable connectors must match the port types that they plug into. PESA4 adapters require a
cable with a pinless MT-RJ male connector. (See the following figure.)
Notice: For PESA4 adapters, you must order cables with pinless MT-RJ male connectors. Note that
standard MT-RJ male connectors do not have pins.
The following are possible ESCON cable configurations:
• MT-RJ/MT-RJ cable
• MT-RJ/ESCON Duplex cable

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 TMS cabinet has two AC boxes (one blue AC box and one orange AC box), providing
dedicated inlets for the two power sources. 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
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, blue AC box(es) can be
connected to one source, and orange AC box(es) can be connected to the other source. If the
source supplying one AC box type fails, the current on the other AC box type will increase,
allowing the system to continue operating.
Teradata Managed Server for Cabinet and Server
Models 4X5, 4X7, and 6X7 Product and Site Preparation Guide
121
Appendix B Site Power Distribution Planning
AC Input Power Distribution
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 blue AC box(es) can be
connected to one circuit breaker panel, and orange AC box(es) can be connected to another
circuit breaker panel. If the circuit breaker panel supplying one AC box type is accidentally
shut off, the current on the other AC box type 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 systems must be wired so that AC lines feeding blue AC boxes and AC lines feeding
orange AC boxes are sized to support the entire system load.
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 orange and blue AC boxes, the two orange cords go
to one site source, and the two blue cords go to the second site source.
Site Wiring for System Integrity
For maximum system integrity, observe the following:
• Rate each AC feed for the rated nameplate current.
• 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.

Site Environmental Planning
Objectives of Site Environmental Control and
Preparation
The purpose of site environmental control and preparation (that is, for equipment
placement, floor layout, airflow delivery requirement, and so on) is to meet the specifications
as described in Environmental Requirements. Different data centers may have different
arrangements but still meet the same environmental specifications. However, some
arrangements are more efficient than others in terms of air conditioning (A/C) capacity
usage, A/C operating cost, floor space usage, robustness of hardware equipment during
environmental changes, and so on.
Notice: The design of the computer room air conditioning units or other environmental control
systems must ensure that the cooling air at the inlets of individual chassis enclosures within
each hardware cabinet meets the environmental requirements outlined in Environmental
Requirements.

Power Consumption
Estimated Power for Teradata Managed Server Cabinets
The maximum allowed power consumption of a Managed Server cabinet is 5,700 Watts. To
determine the power needed for your particular configuration use the tables below to
identify the estimated power for each chassis type in your cabinet build, then add up the total
amount.
The actual power consumption levels for a particular configuration may be different
depending on many factors such as the hardware configuration of each chassis, the
applications running at the time of measurement, and the operating temperature. As a result,
Teradata lists only the estimated power consumption level, associated heat dissipation, and
cooling requirement information as a reference. For power level estimates specific to a
particular configuration, contact Teradata Customer Support.

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 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 Environmental Requirements.
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
cabinets through the openings near the bottom of the front doors, and heated air is
exhausted from the rear of the cabinets.
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. As long as the cold aisles
remain cold, according to environmental requirements, the state of the hot aisles is
irrelevant.
About Aisle Pitch and Tile Cutouts
Following are examples of the recommended locations and shapes of tile cutouts. These
examples facilitate two vented floor tiles (61 cm [24 in.] x 61 cm [24 in.] each) in cold aisles,
while maintaining an 8-tile pitch.

Models 4X5, 4X7, and 6X7 Product and Site Preparation Guide
131
Appendix C Site Environmental Planning
Cooling Considerations for Installation Site
Figure 32: Aisle Pitch and Tile Cutout Size/Location
Brush seals are strongly recommended for tile cutouts. Tile cutouts need to be cut to the size
and shape that will accommodate the brush seals. The following is a recommended tile cutout
size without consideration of the brush seal:
any inter-cabinet cables
12.7 cm (5 in.) wide
7.6 cm (3 in.) deep
Notice: Unblocked tile cutouts will result in chilled air leakage. This may lead to reduced chilled air
supply to hardware equipment through vented tiles, reduced computer room cooling
efficiency, increased use of air conditioning equipment, and increased air conditioning
operating cost.

Floor Layouts
Cabinet alignment
Teradata hardware cabinets are designed to take in conditioned supply air or chilled air in the
front, pass it over the internal heat dissipating components, and exhaust it from the rear. All
hardware cabinets must be installed front-to-front (rear-to-rear).
Cold aisle width
A minimum distance of 1.2 m (4 ft)—or two floor tiles—is required 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.
Hardware Placement Guidelines for Non-Raised Floor and Containment
Environment
While Teradata strongly recommends a raised floor environment, non-raised floor
environments do exist, specifically those using the overhead cold air delivery method. In a
raised floor environment, cold air is delivered from bottom to top, and warm exhaust air rises
and tends to stay close to the ceiling. Overhead cold air delivery is more complex and less
efficient due to the potential of downward flowing cold air mixing with rising warm exhaust
air.
The following figure shows the recommended locations of cold air diffusers and return vents.
Placement of diffusers is not flexible, as it is with vented tiles. However, the physics remain
the same. The cooling capacity offered by A/C handlers must be sufficient to remove heat
generated by hardware equipment, with considerations given to heat removal inefficiency.
If installation of a Teradata system on a non-raised floor is required, the site team must
consult with Teradata Global Support Center (GSC) and Engineering. Engineering will
require a detailed site survey and analysis to determine the proper equipment layouts that
meet the stated environmental requirements for the system.
Note: The latest site survey template is in Service Bulletin 502 (SB502).

How to Measure Environmental Elements
Environmental Measurement Instruments
Following are recommendations for handheld digital meters that can measure temperature,
relative humidity, and airflow velocity:
• 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
Air temperature and humidity level at the inlet of each chassis inside a cabinet are a true
indication of environmental conditions. It may be difficult to take these measurements at
each chassis, since it requires attachments of multiple probes inside the cabinet with the door
closed.
As an alternative, the temperature and humidity levels at the chassis inlets can be derived by
measurements taken outside the cabinet door, as illustrated in this section.
You can measure temperature and humidity with or without instrument readers.
Without instrument readers
Place temperature and humidity probes approximately 0.64 cm (0.25 in.) in front of
the opening near the bottom of the cabinet’s front door.
With instrument readers
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.
Figure 47: Temperature and Humidity Measurement Locations Outside Cabinet
Humidity measurements taken outside and inside the cabinet door are generally the same.
However, air temperature measurements taken outside and inside the door can differ. To
estimate the maximum air temperature at the chassis inlets inside the cabinet door, the
general rule is to take two readings outside the front door, calculate an average temperature,
then add 5° C (9° F).

About Measuring Air Flow
Air flow meters measure air velocity, in meters per second (m/s) or feet per minute (ft/min).
The measurements for air velocity must then be converted to air flow rate, in cubic meters
per second (m3/s) or cubic feet per minute (ft3/min).
Two methods for measuring air flow rate 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 m3/s
or ft3/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 flow meter that measures airflow velocity, and a handmade cardboard
air capture hood. The accuracy of the measurements using the handmade air capture hood
depends on the dimensions of the air hood, specifically the height, the placement of the air
flow meter, and the air flow rates. Typically, measurements obtained using this method, with
the height of the hood no less than 46 cm or 18 in, are accurate within 5-10% of those taken
by a calibrated Alnor meter. A correction factor (CF) representing this discrepancy can be
derived for a specific handmade air capture hood using an Alnor meter as calibration tool.
For detailed information on the recommended flow meter, the dimensions and fabrication
of the hood, and the correction factor, contact your local Teradata Regional Technical
Specialist (RTS), Teradata Customer Support, or Teradata Engineering.
Measuring Air Flow Rate Using an Air Flow Meter and Handmade Air
Capture Hood
This procedure for measuring air flow is specific to a raised floor environment. The air
capture hood can be used to measure flow rate of an overhead air diffuser in an overhead air
delivery environment, as long as the larger open end of the hood can cover the opening of
the diffuser.

Figure 48: Handmade Air Capture Hood and Measurement Locations
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 (ft3/min) = flow velocity (ft/min) x area (1 sq. ft on small open end of hood)
If you need to calculate air flow rate in cubic meters per second (m3/s), the conversion
factor is 4.719 x 104.
For example, to obtain air flow rate in m3/sec when measured air flow rate is X ft3/min
(CFM), multiply X ft3/min by 4.719 x 104: X x 4.719 x 104.
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 pre-installation measurements.

Additionally, perform temperature and humidity measurements for each cabinet after the
equipment is in production to ensure that the operation of Teradata equipment meets the
specifications in Environmental Requirements.
Evaluating Air Flow
1 Before installation, lay down the vented and cutout tiles according to the floor layout.
See the top boxes in the figures.

2 Request that all dedicated computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units be turned on.
This ensures that airflow characteristics above and below the raised floor are consistent
before and after installation.
3 Measure and record the flow rate of chilled air delivery through every vented tile.
See How to Measure Environmental Elements.
4 Measure and record the flow rates of chilled air leakage through the tile cutouts that do
not have brush seals.
This allows you to understand the extent of the air leakage.
5 Compare the flow rate through vented tiles to the chilled air requirement guidelines.
If the airflow measurements do not meet the environmental requirements, it may be
necessary to rearrange the floor layout.
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/.
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
