New equipment should be unpacked, tested, and configured in a dedicated staging room before being moved to the live data hall to prevent contamination and disruptions.

A service corridor is a dedicated space within or adjacent to a data centre that allows access to the supporting facilities, such as power, cooling, fire suppression, security, and cabling systems, without interfering with the computer room operations. A service corridor helps to isolate the noise, vibration, heat, and dust generated by the supporting facilities from the sensitive equipment in the computer room. A service corridor also enhances the safety and efficiency of the maintenance and monitoring activities, as well as the flexibility and scalability of the data centre design.

The four main components of a refrigeration circuit are the evaporator, the compressor, the condenser, and the expansion valve, according to the CDCP Preparation Guide1 and various web sources234. A refrigeration circuit is a system that transfers heat from a low-temperature region to a high-temperature region, using a working fluid called refrigerant. The refrigeration circuit operates in a closed loop, where the refrigerant changes its state from liquid to vapor and back to liquid, while absorbing and releasing heat. The four main components of the refrigeration circuit perform the following functions:

•The evaporator is a heat exchanger that absorbs heat from the low-temperature region, such as the data centre room, and transfers it to the refrigerant. The refrigerant enters the evaporator as a low-pressure, low-temperature liquid, and leaves the evaporator as a low-pressure, low-temperature vapor.

•The compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant vapor. The refrigerant enters the compressor as a low-pressure, low-temperature vapor, and leaves the compressor as a high-pressure, high-temperature vapor.

•The condenser is another heat exchanger that releases heat from the refrigerant to the high-temperature region, such as the outside air or water. The refrigerant enters the condenser as a high-pressure, high-temperature vapor, and leaves the condenser as a high-pressure, low-temperature liquid.

•The expansion valve is a device that reduces the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant liquid. The refrigerant enters the expansion valve as a high-pressure, low-temperature liquid, and leaves the expansion valve as a low-pressure, low-temperature liquid. The expansion valve also controls the flow of the refrigerant into the evaporator, depending on the cooling load.

Single-mode cabling and multi-mode cabling are two types of fiber optic cables that differ in their core diameter, wavelength, light source, bandwidth, distance, and cost. Single-mode cabling has a smaller core diameter and uses a laser as a light source, which enables it to transmit data over longer distances and higher bandwidths. However, single-mode cabling is also more expensive than multi-mode cabling, because it requires more precise alignment and splicing, and more costly light sources and connectors. Multi-mode cabling has a larger core diameter and uses LEDs or VCSELs as a light source, which makes it cheaper and easier to install and maintain. However, multi-mode cabling also has a shorter distance and lower bandwidth than single-mode cabling, because it suffers from more modal dispersion and attenuation.

According to the EPI Data Centre Professional (CDCP®) Preparation Guide, Class K fires involve cooking appliances that use combustible cooking media such as vegetable or animal oils and fats (page 28). Class K fires require special extinguishing agents that can suppress the high-temperature flames and prevent re-ignition. Class K fires are different from Class B fires, which involve flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, or paint.

Class D fires involve combustible metals or combustible metal alloys such as magnesium, sodium and potassium. These metals can react violently with water, air, or other chemicals, and require special extinguishing agents1

According to the Certified Data Centre Professional (CDCP®) reference materials, ICT (Information and Communication Technology) equipment such as servers, switches, and storage devices generate sensible heat. Sensible heat is the heat energy that causes a change in temperature of the air but does not contribute to humidity or moisture content. This is in contrast to latent heat, which involves a change in moisture (humidity) in the air, such as from evaporation or condensation.

ICT equipment does not introduce moisture into the environment; it only raises the temperature of the surrounding air, making it sensible heat. Proper data center cooling focuses on removing this sensible heat load to maintain optimal equipment operating conditions. Latent heat loads, such as those from people or water leaks, are typically not generated by ICT equipment and are managed differently in facility design.

Radiant heat is a minor consideration and typically refers to heat transferred by electromagnetic waves (e.g., from sunlight or hot surfaces), not the primary mode of heat transfer from ICT equipment, which is primarily through convection (airflow) and is measured as sensible heat.

An ultrasonic humidifier is a type of cool mist humidifier that uses a metallic diaphragm that vibrates at high frequencies to create water droplets that are added to the air. A fan projects these droplets into the air as mist, which then evaporates and humidifies the room. This type of humidifier rapidly vibrates the water to create a fog or mist.
