Windows Server Hardware Cooling Question

[Guest Elliott Gaskill]

Uh I know this may not be the right place to ask, but I have an office

move coming up and I'm trying to determine the AC unit I need to get

for the server room.

 

The room is 11'2" x 9'0" x 9'0" for a total of roughly 905 cubic feet

of space. All of the equipment should consume at absolute peak

9000watts. Now I just took the peak input wattage on all of the power

supplies and UPS's and such and added them. I know that most likely

the amount consumed will be less, but I don't know anything about that

kind of stuff.

 

If anyone can help me out with my problem, or direct me where to ask

I'd be very appreciative.

 

Thanks!

Bring in a licensed HVAC contractor and ask them.

 

If you over build the HVAC system, so that it short cycles, it's worse

than under building it - you can freeze the coils and cause the system

to fail and cause your cooling to be lost. Since you're going to have to

pay for the HVAC installation, just find a qualified contractor and they

will do all the work (spec) for you.
