Outline of Facility Planning
Chapter 1

This chapter provides an outline of the facility planning required before the introduction of a computer system, including the selection of an installation site, the computer room location, facility layout and power supply and air-conditioning equipment. In planning these facilities, not only the system scale but also reliability and operationality must be set as important items to be examined. information on each step.

1.2 SCHEDULE Specific schedules depend on the system configuration, but installation of NECs computer system generally requires a period of six months to one year from the time plans are drawn up until the installation is complete. A recommended schedule is outlined in the next section. This schedule should be followed as closely as possible. Problems arising from individual system scales and building construction should be resolved through consultations between the customers installation manager and an NEC representative,and reviewed before finalizing the schedule.
1.2.1 Schedule Outline (1) Twelve months before delivery Studies and decisions on the computer system to be installed are made during this period. The following tasks must be performed at this time: (a) Appointment of an installation manager (b) Determination of the system configuration (c) Determination of the installation site (d) Drafting of layout plans (e) Drafting of facility and equipment specifications and introduction plans (f) Placement of orders for a private (backup) generator (g) Placement of orders for customer-made facilities (2) Six months before delivery All facility specifications must be determined during this period, and all orders placed actual construction beings at this stage. (a) Determination of the layout Computer system cables are ordered at this stage, so subsequent layout changes must be avoided from this point on. (b) Placing of orders for facilities and equipment Placement of orders for computer room partitions, free access floor and ceiling. Final confirmation of the power plant equipment specifications and placement of orders Final confirmation of the air conditioning installation equipment specifications and placement of orders Final confirmation of the specifications of other related facilities and equipment and placement of orders (3) One month before delivery (a) Determination of delivery method and route (b) Checking the progress of the construction The computer room (room partitions and floors) and facilities (such as power supply and air conditioning) should be checked carefully against the system specifications.

1.3 OUTLINE OF FACILITIES 1.3.1 Location (Regional Characteristics Installation of the computer system and related facilities in the following locations should be avoided. If installation in such a location is unavoidable, the appropriate safety precautions must be taken before system installation. (1) Where there is a high possibility of fire (such as a location where there is a high concentration of wooden buildings where a fire is likely to spread) (2) Where the probability of earthquake damage is high, where the foundation is unstable, or where landslides may occur (3) Where lightning occurs frequently throughout the year (4) Areas susceptible to flooding such as areas below sea level (5) Other places susceptible to natural disasters
1.3.2 Building Requirements (1) The building must have been structurally strong to fully withstand an earthquake. (2) The building must be fireproof and floodproof. (3) If the system must share the building with other departments, a complete story should be allocated for the computer facilities. computer and related rooms. (4) Installation of the computer facilities in a basement or on the top floor must be avoided. Lower floors (second, third, or fourth) are recommended. (a) Basements are vulnerable to flooding, and top floors are susceptible to water seepage and severe damage by earthquakes. (b) If the system is installed on the first floor, precautions must be taken to prevent flooding and damage from outside (traffic, stone throwing, etc.). (5) It is recommended that the computer room is built in a space not facing the outside or facing north with no windows in order to improve the efficiency of air conditioning installation and ensure energy conservation. If the room has windows or windows are planned to be build in the room, it is recommended that blind or similar equipment is used to avoid direct sunlight in order to reduce the entry of heat from the outside and improve the energy conservation. This helps prevent unauthorized invasion to the

1.3.3 System Designed for Advanced Level of Public Applications As systems designed for an advanced level of public applications and systems located at the banks and hospitals play an extremely important role in our social life, and the shutdown of such systems must be avoided by all means. Accordingly, improving the reliability of the entire system including the facilities is required through such means as the employment of redundant design which requires the installation of backup facilities as well as the construction of a substitution center to improve the reliability and construction of dual systems.

Architectural Facility
Chapter 2
This chapter describes the architectural facility such as the installation environments of the computer room, additional rooms and computer equipment when the computer system is introduced. The architectural plan includes, as important items, the installation performance which considers the system configuration (such as the size and weight of individual equipment), and operationality and safety which take the information and personnel flow into consideration.
*SX-8 is large equipment.

U0ME-G1AZ102E2
2.1 PLANNING THE COMPUTER ROOM < Offices > Equipment to be installed in offices consumes low electrical energy and generates little heat. The temperature and humidity requirements are less strict than those applicable to large equipment. Accordingly, no particular problems are anticipated when such equipment is installed in offices. Whether or not such equipment can be installed in offices must be determined by taking the installation space, the power supply capacity, the air conditioning capacity, safety (protection from fires and crimes) and other factors into consideration. Please note that you are requested to observe the requirements for the installation environment (to be described later) such as radio waves and vibrations. When many servers and Visual Display Terminals (VDTs) are installed in an office, this may result in insufficient power supply and air conditioning capacities. In such a case, please hold thorough consultation with the section responsible for facility installation and the building Management Company. < Computer room > In planning the computer room, it is important to clarify both operation plans, and plans for adding new facilities on the short-term basis (one to two years), or for replacing the computer after a longer period (four to five years). Special consideration must be given to adding and replacing equipment, and to the reservation of adequate space for increasing the capacity of the original facilities.

A method which involves the installation of the raised floor and the laying of interconnecting cables and power cables between the floor and the raised floor. Can also be used as the air duct to blow chilled air when under-floor air conditioning is introduced.(*1) Since the floorboards that form the raised floor can be removed at any place, it makes modifications to the equipment layout easy. As the cables are located underneath the raised floor, there are no projections from the floor, thus ensuring safety.

(d) Maximum load on the free access floor The maximum load on the free access floor must meet the following conditions. Table 2-3 Allowed Load on the Free Access Floor System Free access floor Free Access Floor Allowed Load 500 kg (min.) Flexion 1.5 mm (max.) Remarks The installation of large equipment (heavy) is set as the precondition.
(e) Covering material of the free access floor The covering material of the free access floor should produce little dust. To prevent the build-up of static charge, an anti-static treatment should be used for the floor. It is also necessary that no metal surface should be in direct contact with the floor. An exposed metal surface may result in a failure in maintaining an appropriate level of leak resistance, causing safety problems. If a carpet is to be laid out in an ordinary office in which the equipment is installed, use an anti-static carpet that produces little dust.

Fig. 2-4 Schematic Drawing of Electrically Conductive Pads f) Floor Elevation Similar to the free access floor, a double floor can be built to use the space between the base floor and the top-surface floor for the laying of cables and the installation of the air ducts for the air conditioner. In this case, the floor elevation must meet the following conditions. Table 2-6 Floor Elevation System Free access floor Floor Elevation (Head Space) Remarks Lower limit Recommended value Medium and large systems 300 mm (min.) 350450 mm
Sufficient space is required between the base floor and the top-surface floor, the two of which combine to form the double floor, to ensure that the cables and the pipes will not block the air flow from the air conditioner and that the space is fully utilized as the air duct.

U0ME-G1AZ102E2
When seismic floor is introduced as protection against earthquakes, the area that can be used for cables and the air duct decreases because the seismic isolator and the beam for supporting the top-surface floor are additionally installed in the double floor. We, therefore, recommend that the top-surface floor elevation be set at a minimum value of 500 mm, in this case. (g) Opening of the free access floor (floor cut) Observe the conditions listed below for boring holes into the free access floor (floor cut) for the passage of cables and air ducts for cooling the equipment. Moreover, a perforated floor results in a reduction in the allowable load on the free access floor. It is, therefore, necessary for adding spare support and for supporting the free access floor. Contact the floor manufacturer for more information.
<Observe the conditions listed below regarding floor perforation> Do not cut the entire side of the four sides. Do not cut two corners out of the four corners. Do not cut the floor in such a way as to significantly reduce the floor strength. Do not cut the floor in such a way that the floor cannot be supported by the support. Do not cut the floor in such a way as to cause problems when computer equipment is to be installed. Do not cut the floor at a location significantly far from the position where the opening for the passage of equipment cables into the floor and the cooled air inlet are located. Do not cut the floor at a location which is within 100 mm of the equipment.

(h) Dimensions and the weight of the free access floor The free access floor may have various cut area sizes. The floor is opened or closed when the equipment size is changed, cables are to be laid when the equipment is added, moved or replaced, or the top-surface floor is replaced. In these cases, if the cut floor area is too large, the equipment legs may be on the free access floor, making it impossible to open the floor or the heavy weight of the floor may result in poor operationality. On the other hand, if the cut floor area is too small, a large number of supports will be required for supporting the free access floor, making it difficult to use the space within the double floor effectively. Table 2-7 Dimensions and Weight of Free Access Floor Item Dimensions Weight Free Access Floor 450 600 mm 40 kg/ (max.) 10 kg/ floor board (max.)
(i) Air conditioning grill Free Access floor air conditioning may require an air conditioning grill for adjusting the temperature distribution in the room or to effectively cool the equipment which requires a large air capacity. There are various types of air conditioning grills with numerical apertures, ranging from 20% to 80%. It is recommended that the numerical aperture be adjusted by combining a grill of large numerical aperture with an aluminum shutter for air conditioning.

U0ME-G1AZ102E2
(2) Wall The wall surface must be of a material that exhibits excellent sound absorption and heat insulation performance and which minimizes dust formation or adhesion. The wall surface must be of a material that is less likely to allow static charges to build up since static electricity is generated through friction between the human body and clothing. (3) Window It is recommended that the computer room be window less. However, if the computer room has windows, they must be built with a structure that prevents heat loss and dust entry. Double windows or double-sealed windows are required where dust, salty air, and corrosive gases are present. In this case, we also recommend that measures be taken to seal the windows or shut-off direct sunlight. (4) Ceiling At least 2,300 mm of effective height from the free access floor surface to the ceiling is recommended as the ceiling height (a height of 2,500 mm is ideal). A double ceiling should be built. It is also recommended that an exhaust grill be installed above equipment that generates a large amount of heat so as to let the exhaust be effectively sucked into the air conditioner. (5) Lighting It is recommended that lighting in the computer room and the VDT room be in the range between 300 and 750 lx (lux) at an elevation of 85 cm above floor level. The use of lighting equipment with a louver for glare prevention is also recommended when a large number of VDT equipment is installed. It is recommended that lighting is arranged in such a way that it can be turned off in the absence of personnel or lighting in the equipment area where no regular operations are conducted can be turned off for the purpose of energy conservation. (6) Cleaning The computer room must be clean at all times. It is also necessary to keep out rats (which cause damage to the cables) and harmful insects. If some chemical materials are used in computer room, the type of the material should be informed NEC. (7) Electrical outlets for maintenance operations It is necessary to build electrical outlets for maintenance operations in the computer room in order to use the maintenance equipment such as measuring instruments and the vacuum cleaner.

U0ME-G1AZ102E2
2.1.2 System Layout Examine the topics listed below when planning the system layout. It is also necessary to ask the building designer or the building manager to check the layout after it is completed, and then finalizes the plan. (1) Divide the system into non-operation related and operation-related parts considering operationally. (2) Consider the personnel flow in the computer room. (3) Reserve an evacuation route in case of emergencies. (4) Place heavy equipment on a beam or in the proximity of a beam. (5) Do not place any devices between the printer that generates paper and toner dust and the air conditioner.
2-10
U0ME-G1AZ102E2
2.1.3 Installation Environment (1) Dust The computer can operate normally at a maximum dust level of 0.3 mg/m3. It is recommended that the maximum dust level be maintained at a value of 0.15 mg/m3 in the operator-working environment. Electrically conductive dust may cause short-circuits and magnetic dust may cause access error of magnetic media even when the dust level is within the specified range. Dust prevention measures may be required in certain cases. Also note that when the humidity level in the computer room is high, the dust may absorb moisture and the amount of dust accumulation may increase, resulting in clogging of the computer air filters or short-circuits in the computer caused by moist dust. To keep the computer room clean, it is necessary to eliminate dust using the air conditioner filters and removes dust from the floor or under the floor by regularly cleaning the computer room. Entering the computer room with shoes on and leaving the computer room door open must be strictly prohibited. Other measures such as the prohibition of smoking in the computer room (as smoking may result in secondary damage caused by cigarette ash) must also be adopted. When planning to use a dust collector, do not use an electrical dust collector (as the electrical dust collector discharges electricity when it collects dust, and generates ozone that may cause the rusting of the computer.)
2-11
U0ME-G1AZ102E2
(2) Corrosive gas If the computer is installed near a noxious gas source, the gas concentration must be minimized to protect operator health and prevent computer corrosion. Special precautions must be adopted near coast, Hot Springs or hot spring facilities. Ensure that the concentration of corrosive gases in the computer room is maintained at or below the allowed values shown in Table 2-8. Table 2-8 Allowed Concentration of Corrosive Gases for the Computer Corrosive Gases Allowed Concentration Salinity (NaCl) 0.08 mg/m3 Sulfur dioxide (SO2) 0.2 PPM Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) 0.1 PPM Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) 0.5 PPM Ozone (O3) 0.1 PPM Keeping the atmospheric pressure in the computer room higher than that of the open air prevents the open air containing corrosive gases from entering the computer room. However, this requires constant feeding of air into the computer room to maintain a certain pressure difference. If a corrosive gas source is located near the air intake, this causes these corrosive gases to be sucked in. Accordingly, a thorough pre-investigation of the area around the computer room is required. In addition, the level of airtightness of the computer room must be improved. (3) Vibrations The computer will operate normally if the vibrational acceleration amplitude of the installation floor surface is below 2.45 m/s2 (245 gal). In order to prevent damage to the computer due to sliding and falling when the vibrational amplitude exceeds 2.45 m/s2(245 gal) or prevent injuries from the sliding and falling of the equipment and the fittings, we recommend that seismic prevention measures be taken. (See 6.2 Protection against Earthquake.

U0ME-G1AZ102E2
(4) Radio waves Ensure that the field intensity of the incoming radio waves at the place where the computer is installed is less than a maximum value of 1 V/m(120dBV/m). However, in places where strong radio waves are generated (for example, in the vicinity of a broadcasting and a communication antenna or a radar station), or when a high-frequency device is installed on the same floor as the computer, radio waves can affect computer operation. In such cases, contact NEC since works such as shielding of the computer room may be required. Radio equipment such as cellular phones may affect the computer operation. Therefore, refrain from using such equipment in the computer room in accordance with the service conditions set out in Table 2-9. Table 2-9 Restrictions of Radio Equipment usage in the Computer Room Restrictions Radio Equipment Notes of equipment usage Cellular phones The computer may malfunction. Transceivers operated on the citizens band Prohibited Please power off the equipment at bringing it into Commercial radios the computer room. Amateur radios Cordless telephone Do not let the main body or the antenna of the operated on low elecequipment contact the computer or the signal cable.

(5) Magnetic fields (a) Storage site for magnetic media The information stored in magnetic recording media may be damaged if they are kept in a place where the external magnetic field exceeds 4000 A/m (50 Oe: Oersted). Accordingly, avoid storage in such places. (b) Effects of the external magnetic field on the CRT Since the CRT characters and graphics by deflecting the electron beams in the horizontal and the vertical directions using the magnetic field created by the deflecting coil, its screen display is affected by the external magnetic field. Moreover, with the introduction of higher resolution displays, these displays are more likely to be affected by the smaller magnetic fields. Although the extent of the effect on the CRT depends on the type of magnetic field, the following phenomena are anticipated. (1) AC magnetic field Causes screen flickering. Sources that generate the AC magnetic fields include the cables and the AC power supply transformers. In addition, the deflecting coil of the CRT itself generates magnetic field. Therefore, when CRTs are placed next to each other, they may interfere with each other, causing the flickering of the screen. (2) DC magnetic field Causes color deviation, shift or tilting of the screen. Sources that generate the DC magnetic fields include the cables and the DC power supply transformers, metal plates magnetized by welding or bending and speaker magnets. (c) Allowed magnetic field value for the CRT display The CRT display performance may be affected in the proximity of cables and power transformers carrying large electric currents and magnetized metals. The intensity of magnetic field that affects the CRT display performance slightly varies, depending on the CRT size and type, the nature of screen display, and the type of magnetic field. Values indicating the level where the color display performance is not generally affected are shown below. (1) AC magnetic field: 0.4 0.6 A/m( 5 7 mOe ) (max.) (2) DC magnetic field: 31.8 39.8 A/m( 400 500 mOe ) (max.) *1 ( 1 A/m = 4 10-3 Oe: Oersted) *2

*1: The value of the DC magnetic field includes the earths magnetism *2: Magnetic flux density Gauss (gauss) Magnetic-field intensity (Oe) in the air (d) Protection of the CRT from magnetic fields (1) Isolation of the sources generating magnetic fields Move the transformers and power cables carrying large electric currents away from the computer room. In addition, a secondary problem of magnetic flux leakage from the power cables caused by electrical leakage is present. In a case like this, it is necessary to remove problem sections in the facility. (2) Isolation of the CRT from the sources generating magnetic fields In case the sources generating magnetic fields cannot be isolated from the computer room, move the CRT away from such sources. Since the magnetic field intensity drops significantly as the CRT is moved away from the sources generating magnetic fields, move the CRT away till it is no longer affected by the magnetic fields. (3) Protection by a magnetic shield Store the CRT in a magnetic shield case made of magnetic materials of high magnetic permeability and low coercive force such as amorphous and permalloys. Generally, the shielding of the CRT from magnetic fields is more effective and less expensive than protective measures against magnetic field sources. (4) Change in the display Change the display to the liquid crystal display or the plasma display both of that are not affected by magnetic fields.

(6) Static electricity The computer may malfunction if an electrostatically charged human body or truck comes in contact with the computer enclosure due to electrostatic discharge. Although its value differs from person to person, when the electrostatic voltage of the human body exceeds 2 kV, the shock of electrostatic discharge or the radiation of electric discharge is felt by one. Under these conditions, the computer is likely to malfunction. It is recommended that the built-up voltage of the human body in the computer room should have a maximum value of 1 kV. To reduce the generation of static electricity, it is necessary to adjust humidity in the computer room at a level between 40% and 60% and use a floor material which is less likely to generate static electricity and has high electrical conductivity (See 2.1.1. (1). (e) Covering material of the free access floor). In addition, the operator must wear clothes less likely to generate static electricity and shoes have high electrical conductivity. Other effective measures include the laying of anti-static mat, limiting the access route so that the trucks will not come in contact with the computer and the installation of the tire guard around the computer. Moreover, the application of an anti-static agent to the floor is also effective. However, note that this only produces a temporary effect and that its effect is reduced when the humidity levels are low.

2.3 DELIVERY PLANNING When planning to transport the computer, the power plant equipment, air conditioning installation and other equipment, it is necessary to, first of all, check the delivery entry, the delivery route and the availability of the elevator, depending on the dimensions and weight of the equipment. SX-8 is large equipment. Refer to Chapter 9. Since the equipment is transported by a vehicle such as a trailer, parking space or space enabling the unloading of the equipment is also necessary.
2.3.1 Delivery Methods Three methods as shown below are available for transporting the equipment to the second or higher floors of the building. In view of the workability, safety and cost of delivery, we recommend delivery using the elevator. (1) Delivery using the elevator We recommend this method in view of the workability, safety and the cost of delivery. It is necessary to check that all the equipment to be transported has dimensions and weight compatible with the elevator to be used. (2) Delivery using cranes For bringing in equipment using a crane, you are requested to contact NEC beforehand as scaffolding or removal of the window frame may be required depending on the building structure. (3) Delivery via the staircase Delivery of heavy equipment via the staircase using human power is difficult. It also entails shocks and vibration that may damage the equipment. In addition, large stairway width as well as a large amount of space is required at each turn of the stairway.

Air Conditioning Installation
Chapter 3

This chapter describes issues related to the installation of the air conditioning, required when the computer system is introduced. As the temperature and humidity conditions produced by the air conditioning are the major factors ensuring the stable operation of the computer system over an extended period, it is necessary to fully examine various points including the space required for the extension of the air conditioning equipment, while taking into consideration the installation of backup air conditioner required during regular facility inspection and system failure as well as the extension of the computer system in the future. It is also necessary, at the same time, to examine issues related to the work environment of the operators and measures against static electricity, condensation and corrosion.

Air Conditioning Installation U0ME-G1A

Disadvantages 1) It is necessary to set up equipment in the order of installation elevation, more specifically, installation should start from equipment with smaller installation elevation to those with larger installation elevation from the front of the air conditioner to the farther end of the room, or equipment should be set up in a direction which is vertical to the air conditioner (restrictions in the layout). 2) Heat is likely to accumulate locally in the room, making it difficult to evenly distribute temperature and humidity. 3) It may result in an uncomfortable work environment if, for example, the air blows towards the operator.

(b) Ceiling duct system A system that involves the blowing of air into the room from the air conditioner installed in the computer room or in another room through the duct laid in the ceiling. Advantage As the air is blown through the ceiling duct, the temperature and humidity distribution in the room can be relatively uniform. Disadvantages 1) Since a ceiling duct is required for blowing air from the ceiling, introduction of this air conditioning system is more expensive than the direct blowing system. 2) As the outlet of the air from the ceiling is fixed, this air conditioning system presents certain layout restrictions regarding the extension and the movement of the equipment. 3) Since a large volume of air is required to blow when the heat load increases, this is likely to result in an uncomfortable work environment. For example, air may blow towards the operator or the blowing noise may increase.

Disadvantages 1) A double floor is required to be built. 2) Fluctuations in the temperature and the humidity of blowing air produce the direct effect. (As the operator is unable to recognize any fluctuations in the temperature and humidity of blowing air, NEC recommend that a temperature and humidity monitor be installed.)

3.2 AIR CONDITIONER SPECIFICATIONS The air conditioning equipment for the computer must meet specifications that are different from those applicable to general air conditioning equipment which concern with the system operation format and quality. Therefore, even if the cooling capacity of the currently installed air conditioning is sufficient for processing the calorific value of the system, it does not necessarily mean that it can be used as it is.
3.2.1 Features of Air Conditioning Installation for Computer Room Since the air conditioning equipment for the computer has features that are districted from air conditioning equipment for office applications as listed below, special air conditioning equipment is required for the computer. (1) Constant temperature and humidity are required. Temperature and humidity control for offices are adjusted primarily for the people working in the room. Temperature: Winter period: 20 to 22 Summer period: 26 to 28 Humidity: 40 to 70 %RH(With temperature set as the priority control item, humidity is left to be set accordingly.) In comparison with the offices in general, it is necessary to control the computer room in a way that temperature and humidity come within a specified range throughout the year. (2) The calorific value of the room (the calorific value of the computer) is extremely large. While the heat load in offices (resulting from human activities, lighting and so forth) ranges between 200 and 400 kJ/hm2, the heat load in the computer room ranges between 1,200 and 2,000 kJ/hm2, a large fraction of which is accounted for by the calorific value of the equipment. (3) Cooling is required throughout the year. As mentioned in (2) above, the calorific value of a room is extremely large. Even during the winter period, heat accumulated in the room is larger than the heat escaping outside, causing the room temperature to increase beyond the operating temperature range of the computer. Accordingly, cooling is required throughout the year. (4) Long operation time. The daily operation time in the computer room is longer than that in offices. It is also necessary to implement air conditioning in a way to meet the system operation schedule, such as the operation on holidays and uninterrupted operation during the day and the night. (5) The building air conditioner cannot be used for air conditioning in the computer room. The building air conditioner is designed for the benefit of the human residential environment. Its operation time is limited and heating is applied during the winter period. Therefore, it is not possible to compensate for any capacity deficiency in the air conditioner for the computer using the building air conditioner.
3-8
U0ME-G1AZ102E2

(6) The under-floor system is adopted. While office rooms in general use the freestanding system, the computer room uses the under-floor system because the under-floor system demonstrates flexibility concerning the extension or the movement of the equipment.
3.2.2 Air Conditioning Installation Specifications Required for Computer (1) Air conditioner that can be run in the cooling mode throughout the year. The calorific value of the computer is larger than the value set as the target for building air conditioning. Accordingly, cooling is also required during periods other than summer. (2) The air conditioner must be run in accordance with the computer operation schedule. Air conditioners in general are used for the benefit of the human residential environment. However, the computers are often running during a night and holidays in the absence of people. Accordingly, air conditions capable of being operated in accordance with the system operation format is required. (3) Fine temperature and humidity control must be enabled. To ensure the stable operation of the computer for an extended period, it is necessary to introduce a system such as the air conditioner for the computer that enables multistage, fine temperature and humidity control.
3-9
U0ME-G1AZ102E2

(4) Humidifying must be enabled. A drop in the humidity level of the room is likely to cause static charges. The clothes, shoes and floor materials generate static charges. This must be taken into consideration. Controlling the humidity can reduce them. According, the humidifying function is required. Feed water for the humidifier (tap water) contains impurities such as calcium and magnesium. When such impurities are released in the air, they adhere to the interior of the computer in the form of white powder (scale), causing negative effects. The table below lists various humidifier systems for reference. Table 3-1 Humidifying System Humidifying System (*1) Vaporizes the water contained Vaporization type in the filter to humidify the air. Evaporation type Atomization type Pan Treatment for Humidifier Feed Water

Sprays the pressurized water water using the demineralizer is Water spray from the tip of the nozzle to required to remove impurities. humidify the air. (*1) In hard water (meaning that water includes a large proportion of calcium and magnesium) area, regular maintenance (facilities to treat the humidifier or the feed water for the humidifier) is required, no matter which system is adopted. (5) Dehumidifying must be enabled. Although the computer generates a sensible heat load, relative humidity in the computer room may increase, for example, on rainy days, when humidity increases (highly humid air enters from outside). The dehumidifying function is required to remove such moisture. A dehumidifying capacity for the sufficiently removal of moisture entering the computer room is required regardless of the system structure (scale). (6) Heating must be enabled at the time of system booting during the winter period. The temperature in the computer room may be lower than the operating temperature range of the computer at the time of system booting during the winter period. In this case, it is necessary to increase the room temperature by heating up to the operating temperature range of the computer before booting the system.
3-10
U0ME-G1AZ102E2

(7) The delayed control of the humidifier must be enabled for the prevention of dew condensation. The equipment temperature at the time of start-up during the winter period is equal to the room temperature. When the air conditioning equipment is run in this state, heating and humidifying operations are run, causing air of high temperature and humidity to come in contact with the equipment causing dew condensation on the equipment surface or in the interior of the equipment. To prevent this from happening, humidifying operation must be delayed or excluded when the air conditioner is run in the heating mode. (8) Air conditioning equipment must incorporate a high performance filter for collecting dust in the room. Dust is generated, though small in quantity due to the computer room carpeted and the use of paper by the printer. In addition, dust is brought into the computer room as a result of entry and exit of personnel. Dust adheres to the filter in the computer and blocks the cooling of the equipment. Accordingly, the air conditioning equipment must capture the dust in the computer room. As the electrical dust precipitator generates ozone that causes equipment deterioration, use of the electrical dust precipitator must be avoided. (9) Backup air conditioner must be available. In case the air conditioner fails, the room tem

3.3.3 Method of Cooling the Computer Equipment Each computer is equipped with cooling fans. Several fan locations and air flow direction types are available because certain computers are built with special structures, for example, designed to minimize the noise generated by the fan based on the assumption of equipment installation in general office rooms, or designed to minimize the air to be blown towards the operator.

3.4 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPUTER ROOM The temperature and humidity values of the computer room must meet the following requirements in order to ensure equipment reliability and comfort in the operator work environment as well as to prevent static charges, dew condensation and corrosion. Note, however, that even though temperature and humidity values in the computer room are within the range of temperature and humidity requirements for the computer (allowed values), deviation from the recommended values for an extended period in the facilities may produce deterioration in equipment reliability and create operator discomfort.
3.4.1 Facility Reference Values and Scope of Facility Recommendation Temperature and humidity must be controlled in the computer room in a manner to take both the equipment and operator into consideration.

It is recommended that air conditioning equipment be normally used within this range. (4) Control range during equipment operation and halting This sets the range of temperature and humidity control during equipment operation and halting. This setting enables a quick detection of any abnormality in the air conditioning equipment and the temperature and humidity environment of the computer installation site, making it possible to take relevant measures.

3.4.2 Facility Reference Value Locations (1) Freestanding system A point located at an elevation of one meter from the floor surface and 0.5 meter away from the equipment. However, this point should not be in the direct proximity of the exhaust from the equipment. (2) Under-floor system A point where the air blows out from the floor cut. (3) Joint use of under-floor and freestanding air conditioning systems As per (1) and (2) above.
3.4.3 Installation Location of Temperature and Humidity Sensor The installation location of the temperature and humidity sensor depends on the air conditioning system. (1) Freestanding system A point located at a height between one and 1.5 meters above the floor surface for recording the average temperature and humidity of the room. The setting of the temperature and humidity sensor must be adjusted every time the equipment layout is changed or the equipment is extended or moved. In this case, it is recommended that the temperature and humidity sensor be installed at the intake of the air conditioner rather than on the wall or the column of the computer room in order to facilitate adjustment. Also note that if the temperature and humidity sensor is set up in a location of stagnant air flow, such as at a location enclosed by partitions, temperature and humidity control will be disabled.

(2) Under-floor system A point located within two meters from the air conditioner outlet. Note that temperature and humidity control will be disrupted, when the air flow from another air conditioner comes in contact with the temperature and humidity sensor set as the target or when the air flow from the air conditioner does not come in direct contact with the temperature and humidity sensor because it is blocked by a cable.

3.6 BACKUP AIR CONDITIONER NEC recommend that a backup air conditioner be made available in case one of the air conditioners used for actual operation fails or is inspected for maintenance, in order to prevent the halting of the system operation. Regarding the installation of the backup air conditioner, NEC recommend that three to five air conditioners be put together to form a zone group and that one backup air conditioner be installed for each zone group because a backup air conditioner located at a large distance from the failed air conditioner cannot function as a substitute. In addition, operating air conditioners in rotation within each zone helps average out the load on air conditioners.

It is necessary to lay out the backup air conditioner (#3 and 6 in Fig. 3-10) in such a way that they are not located next to each other between neighboring zones because if A/C #3 and 4 function as the backup air conditioners, the center of the room will not be cooled sufficiently, causing a local rise in temperature.

3.7 INSPECTION AND CONTROL To ensure the stable operation of air conditioning equipment for an extended period, it is important to carry out regular inspection and daily temperature and humidity control of the equipment.
3.7.1 Facility Inspection NEC recommend that a regular inspection (including the cleaning of the air filter and the humidifier) be implemented in order to ensure the maintenance of the equipment. A regular inspection involves works that must be contracted out to the air conditioner manufacturer as well as works that can be performed by the operator such as the cleaning of the air filter. Implementation of such inspection and cleaning prevents the occurrence of problems.
3.7.2 Necessity of Temperature and Humidity Control NEC recommend that temperature and humidity be monitored and recorded regularly using a self-recording thermometer and hygrometer. Daily monitoring of temperature and humidity enables the early detection of abnormality in the air conditioner equipment and keeping of records enables comparison with the past performance. Use of such information will contribute towards stable system operation.

3.8 TRIAL OPERATION A trial run must be carried out without fail before the system is installed, in order to remove any dust remaining in the air conditioner or the duct and to check that the set values for the temperature and humidity control sensor indicate the specified values. It is also necessary to make adjustments again using the actual heat load when the system is introduced in order to confirm that temperature and humidity values come within the recommended range for the facility.

3.9 NOTES ON START-UP TIME OF COLD SEASON OPERATION As dew condensation may form on the computer surface or in the interior of the computer at the time of start-up of the air conditioner during the cold season, it is necessary to implement a control for the delay of the humidifier operation. This control is particularly required when the air conditioner operation is halted over the long vacation.
3.9.1 Condensation Mechanism When the air conditioner starts operating, the temperature of the air that blows out from under the floor increases till it reaches the set value. When the room temperature increases, this reduces relative humidity, causing the humidifier to be activated and shifting the air conditioner into the heating and humidifying operation mode (blowing of air of high temperature and humidity). However, as the computer (the metal parts in particular) has a large heat capacity and the equipment temperature gradually increases without following the pattern of the room temperature change, air of high temperature and humidity, blown out from the air conditioner, is cooled on the equipment surface or interior to form dew condensation in the computer.
3.9.2 Notes on the Start-up Time of Air Conditioner Operation To prevent dew condensation mentioned in the preceding section from forming, it is necessary to implement a control that the humidifier will not be activated when the air conditioner is run in the heating mode. It is necessary to gradually increase the room temperature (at the rate of within 10 /h) till it reaches the range of equipment temperature requirement (15 to 32 ), leave the equipment in that state for 30 minutes to one hour without activating the humidifier, and then, enable the humidifier to be activated to implement temperature and humidity control. other factors. Note, however, that the period for which the equipment is left to adjust with the surrounding environment depends on the building structure and

3.10 Ventilation Facility It is reported that in order to maintain a comfortable work environment for the operators who work in the computer room, fresh air intake at the level of 20 m3 / person for every 1 hour must be maintained (to reduce the concentration of dust and carbon dioxide in the room to the level considered harmless). However, the number of personnel per unit area of the computer room is significantly smaller than that of the general office rooms and the entry into and the exit from the computer room ensures sufficient ventilation, leading us to believe that the operator work environment is not likely to deteriorate. To maintain fresh air intake, temperature and humidity control, and the removal of dust and corrosive gases must be thoroughly implemented.

4.2.2 Grounding Requirements Prepare a dedicated grounding wire for the computer system up to the power distribution board used for the computer system. resistance of 100 or less. See (a) of (2) Grounding Requirements for the thickness of the grounding wire. In principle, the computer must be grounded by a dedicated grounding wire. (1) Grounding purposes The computer is grounded for the following purposes. (a) Reduction of grounding voltage Grounding the computer at low resistance reduces the contact voltage when voltage is applied to the frame by the dielectric breakdown of the equipment and the electric circuit. (b) Prevention of induction problems Releasing electric potential caused by electrostatic induction brings the electric potential of the computer frame to the same level as that of the ground. (c) Proper circuit breaker operations Releasing the ground fault current to the ground is promoted when an accident such as bad insulation occurs, ensuring proper operation of the short circuit breaker. (d) Prevention of supply problems Activating the over-current circuit breaker is promoted when abnormality occurs in order to mitigate supply problems. (e) Equalizing of earth potential The adoption of the one-point grounding system equalizes earth potential to prevent accidents such as electric shock. (f) Prevention of contact with the weak current circuit The dielectric breakdowns due to contact with the weak current circuit and accidents such as electric shock are prevented. This grounding wire must have an earth

which has a cross section area of at least 38m for medium and large systems. (b) Two types of grounding are required; grounding for the computer and grounding for safety.

If the leak current from the grounding electrode for maintenance is added, the earth leakage breaker may This is also designed to prevent noise from other equipment from entering the computer. (d)When planning to use a building steel frame to substitute for the grounding electrode, connect to a building steel frame section as close to the foundation as possible. (e) Make sure to lay the ground line to the power distribution board.

(3) Grounding of the UPS The UPS must be grounded in order to prevent electric shock caused by electric leakage, and to reduce the leakage of noise generated by the UPS and the noise entering the UPS. As the UPS uses a semiconductor switching circuit, the switching operation generates high frequency noise. The noise is transmitted through the input terminal or directly radiated as radio waves. Accordingly, the noise affects electronic equipment connected to the same power supply or located nearby, causing them to malfunction. To minimize malfunction, measures are taken, for example, by building a noise filter in the UPS interior or applying a shield. However, as the noise cannot be entirely eliminated, further measures are required, by means of additionally installing the noise filter in the UPS installation site or in the input UPS power supply, and, in some cases, installing a noise filter in other equipment.

4.3 COMPUTATION OF POWER SUPPLY FACILITY CAPACITY 4.3.1 Computation of Facility Capacity The electric power capacity required is often expressed by the apparent power (kVA) and this involves the sum total of capacities of individual systems. However, the electric In this case, power capacity of some equipment is expressed by active input power (kW). the differences in units require the conversion of one unit into another. The relation between the apparent power and the active input power is expressed by the formula below. Apparent power (kVA)= Active input power (kW)/Power factor The power factor is set at a constant value of 0.8 as many devices to place a load impose a rectifier load. Calculate the electric power facility capacity by taking the sum total of the capacities of individual loads and future extension of the load. Set the electric power facility capacity for the computer at the minimum of the total power consumption (kVA) of the computer system. Also, include in the calculation any power consumption capacity for future extension if any extension is planned.
4.3.2 Confirmation of Rush Current Value Avoid batch activation of computers whose rush current value is considered large. Instead, consider the distribution of loads at system start-up time by activating computers one by one. Particularly when the UPS is introduced, this places excessive stress on the UPS, causing failures. Therefore, due consideration is required.

U0ME-G1AZ102E2

Po>PL Po: Output capacitance of the UPS (kVA) PL: Arithmetic total of load capacities (Including future load extension) (kVA) : Percentage of allowance (1.11.3) Based on the results computed using this formula, UPS of an appropriate capacity can be selected. However, when the rush current value of the computer system is large, the If the UPS is proof stress of the UPS against the rush current must be compared. means of activating the computers one by one must be examined.

4.4.5 Protection against Lightning To reduce conduction surge due to lightning, appropriate measures must be taken (for example, protecting the power supply system and communication system by means of lightning arresters).
4.4.6 Grounding Perform dedicated grounding for the computer(100 (max.)).
4.4.7 Inspection and Control To ensure stable operation of the power supply facilities over an extended period, regular inspection of the facilities and equipment and daily environmental inspection are important. (1) Facility inspection Performing regular inspection is recommended to ensure the maintenance of facilities and equipment. Regular inspection includes items that can be readily checked such as whether an abnormal noise, malodor and vibrations are generated from the facilities and whether heat is generated from the board, in addition to items contracted out to the manufacturer for inspection. (2) Temperature and humidity control The UPS has built-in batteries. High temperature reduce the battery life and high humidity causes dew condensation. (3) Insulation resistance test Remove cables from the UPS to perform the insulation resistance test (megger test) of the power cable to which the UPS is connected. Performing measurements without the removal of the cables causes a failure in the accurate indication of the insulation resistance, as a noise filter is located in the entry side of the UPS. (4) Battery exchange Please make a plan of periodical replacement of battery when it is used by with UPS. There are two expected battery life, that is three years and five years. The battery life may be reduced depending on the service temperature environment and the frequency of electric discharge. Temperature, in particular, affects the battery life; the battery life may be reduced depending on the temperature environment.

This chapter describes issues related to automatic operation facilities required when the computer system is introduced. The NEC computer system enables the automation of start-up and halting and the monitoring of the setup environment. During the planning of the construction of automatic operation facilities, it is necessary to examine the operation method of the computer system including the auxiliary facilities and the measures to be adopted in the case of abnormalities. Please consult an NEC representative concerning the interface with auxiliary facilities to be optionally provided by NEC and the automatic operation facilities to be provided by the customers.

Particularly in the computer room, it is necessary, given the nature of the equipment installed, to implement protection against fires and fire extinguishing measures, while taking special circumstances into consideration. lives and information assets. It is important to build facilities that ensure safety for human Accordingly, due attention should be paid to fire
6.1.1 Points to Note for Protection against Fire The following items must be taken into consideration when implementing protection against fires. 1) Employ fire-resistant construction for the building, the computer room, the operator room and the storage of magnetic media. 2) Use the fire-enclosed door. 3) Prepare emergency exits. 4) Use nonflammable materials for the interior, floor and ceiling. 5) Use nonflammable or flameproof products for air conditioners and other appliances, and instruments used in the computer room. 6) Add a damper to the air conditioner duct. 7) Install a fire alarm. 8) Install an area-wide fire extinguishing system (sprinkler, carbon dioxide etc.). 9) Place fire extinguishers (carbon dioxide etc.) for local fire fighting. 10) Install a smoke extraction system. 11) Prepare emergency evacuation facilities (evacuation passage, guide light etc.).

Safety Measures
6.1.2 Fire Prevention The most important point of protection against fire is naturally not to let a fire break out. To ensure this, it is necessary to always pay attention to protection against fire and abnormality monitoring. Particularly in the computer room, the air conditioner and the cooling fan of the equipment diffuse the generated heat, making the detection of abnormalities difficult. detection of the abnormality and taking of counteractions are important. In addition, it is necessary to take measures to minimize the damage of fire, including the implementation of a fire drill, the establishment of the fire prevention system and the improvement of the operation rules in the computer room, in case of fire. Accordingly, quick

Daily prevention
Monitoring of abnormality
1) Early detection using a high sensitivity smoke sensor 2) Identification of abnormal sections 3) Power deactivation of target facilities
6.1.3 Initial Fire Since fire extinguisher using halon is banned, adoptions of necessary measures at an early stage by means of initial fire extinguishing as well as swift actions are required. For these reasons, fire alarm facilities (the heat and the smoke sensors in particular) must be set up in many locations in order to ensure that a fire can be quickly detected. If initial fire (fuming) is detected, quick implementation of initial fire extinguishing activities using fire extinguishers is required, if possible. Be careful not to inhale smoke or poisonous gases when extinguishing a fire as it is dangerous. When the amount of smoke increases or flames reach the ceiling, it signals the limit of the initial fire extinguishing activities. When this happens, evacuate the area immediately.

6.1.4 Fire in a Wide Area When fire spreads to a wider area, it is necessary to quickly extinguish and quench it using high performance fire extinguishing equipment including sprinklers, carbon dioxide and new types of gaseous extinguishers in order to minimize damage. However, while the sprinkler exhibits excellent fire extinguishing performance, flooding resulting from the use of the sprinkler is suspected of affecting and damaging the computer system. Carbon dioxide presents a threat to the human body (suffocation). equipment requires certain care. New gases were developed for replacing halon as a fire extinguisher. maintain a cylinder room. It is necessary to extinguish and quench fire in its initial stages in order to prevent it from spreading to a wider area when fire breaks out in the computer room. Although they exhibit excellent performances, a large amount of fire retardant is required, making it necessary to Hence, handling of these

6.1.5 Automatic Fire Alarm System It is recommended to install the automatic fire alarm device. It is a common practice that the computers room and the data storage in particular are set as independent zones where sensors must be installed. Sensors are mainly classified into heat sensors and smoke sensors, and the required sensor type must be selected based on the installation site. In the computer room, fuming is anticipated in the initial stage of fire breakout. Accordingly, early detection by the smoke sensor is considered to be effective. Normally, the ionization and the photoelectric type sensors are used in combination.

6.1.6 Fire Extinguisher (Mobile Fire Extinguisher) Fire extinguishers must be installed in the computer room for initial fire extinguishing. To ensure that initial fire extinguishing activities can be carried out swiftly when a fire is detected, install fire extinguishers in appropriate locations.
6.1.7 Fire Extinguishing Equipment The computer room and additional rooms should be equipped with an area-wide extinguishing system that manually (switch operated) or automatically ejects gas on detection or discovery of fire. Normally, when people are present in the rooms, fire extinguishing is performed manually and when there are no people in the rooms, for example, at night, fire extinguishing is carried out automatically. Fire extinguishing systems include sprinklers and fire extinguishing equipment using carbon dioxide. Of late, fire extinguishing equipment using new gases (fluorine and inert gases) have been developed. New gases that were developed to substitute halon following the complete elimination of use of halon impose no harm to the global environment and their effects on the human body are minimal. Since they exhibit excellent fire extinguishing performances, they are considered to be effective as fire extinguishing equipment for the computer room.

6.4 PROTECTION AGAINST FLOOD DAMAGE Protection against flood damage must be implemented in the computer room to ensure that the computer will not have any problems. Avoid installing facilities that use water in the computer room except for those which are essential for the computer system. The following section summarizes the measures to be taken. (1) Computer room location Generally, the basement and the top floor are more likely to suffer from flooding and water leakage. Therefore, installing computers and related facilities on these floors is not recommended. It is also necessary to avoid installing them in locations that are below the facilities that use water or in their periphery. (2) Protection against water Actions must be taken to prevent the computer room from being inundated or permeated by water. It is also necessary to construct water slope, breaker and drain ditch to protect the If it is necessary to room from water when there is a flood or when a fire breaks out. Avoid as far as possible, the laying of water pipes in the room or ceiling. room. (3) Leak detector Set up leak detectors in the periphery of the air conditioners and water pipes to enable early detection of any abnormality and therefore to prevent damage from spreading. Install leak detectors on the ceiling without fail when the floor of the story immediately above is not waterproof. lay water pipes in the room, install cut-off valves just in front of the portions through the

Moreover, with the advance in network technologies, and the decentralization and application to a wide area of computer systems, it is necessary to build a security system that has excellent reliability and expandability, and exhibits flexibility in responding to the changes in the information environment. Therefore, proper measures must be
6.5.1 Protection of Computer Room against Crime A dedicated computer room must be used, which is isolated from rooms frequented by many people. In this case, a location not directly accessed from the elevator or the stairway must be selected. Other measures must also be taken; for example, no indication of the room name and installation of no windows in the room. Furthermore, to prevent damage from illegal entry, the entrance/exit to and from the computer room must always be limited to one location, and an entry control device and a monitoring camera must be installed.
6.5.2 Entry Control Device The authentication systems adopted by the entry control device include the use of a password and a card (contact and non-contact type) and the checking of the fingerprints. Generally, a device which provides functions such as door opening and closing control (prevention of entry of non-registrants), recording of staff entering and leaving the room and alarm triggering, must be selected. (1) Card system Two types of card systems are available; the contact and the non-contact types. The contact type is available in either the magnetic type or the IC type. type is most commonly used among the card system types used nowadays. The non-contact type is available in either the radio wave type or the optical type. control. (2) Authentication system using fingerprints The authentication system using fingerprints enables authentication simply by placing ones finger on the scanner. By taking advantage of a physical feature (fingerprint), it ensures high security level, eliminating the likelihood of loss or theft. As simply passing the card over the sensor at the gate does authentication, it ensures effective access The magnetic card

Computer Layout
The items listed below must be taken into consideration when determining the computer room layout. 10.1 LAYOUT REQUIREMENTS The system should be arranged
1 A limit is set on the length of each type of system cable. within these length limits.
2 When a neighboring unit is specified, the relevant conditions must be satisfied. 3 The required maintenance and operation areas must be reserved. The maintenance area must be secured when not doing maintenance. 4 The location of the peripheral equipment and the entry to the computer room must be determined in such a way as to improve the operation efficiency in accordance with the operation flow. 5 The locations of obstacles such as columns must be taken into consideration. 6 The locations of the furnishings and offline units must also be considered. 7 Future relocation and extension plans must also be taken into consideration. 8 An area of at least 500-mm in width is required as the passage when a unit is not located next to another unit. 9 The installation area for the maintenance appliances must be taken into consideration. 10 Units likely to generate dust should be placed close to the suction entrance of the air conditioner. 11 The free access floor should be partitioned by taking into consideration the layout, the unit bottom drawing, the required air capacity, and other relevant factors. Required area (m2) = Required air capacity (m3/minute) intake air velocity (m/minute)+ Cable area (m2)

11.3 POWER SUPPLY FACILITY RELATED This chapter covers supplementary matters related to the planning of the power supply facilities discussed in Chapter 4. Since a stable supply of power is a prerequisite for the computer system, necessary measures should be taken and proper examination should be made.
11.3.1 Input Power Noise Type Caution must be taken against power noise as it may result in the malfunctioning of the computer. Power noise is classified into the following types. (1) Low voltage A state where the voltage remains lower than the allowed limit of the input power conditions of the device which constitutes a load for a long time. Generally, this refers to cases where the connection time is equal to or more than 2.5 seconds. Low voltage generally results from intentional voltage reduction control by the electric power companies, and incidentally overload that occurs within the same facilities or in neighboring facilities located on the same transmission line. Voltage reduction controlAdjustment of the voltage by electric power companies in accordance with power consumption. (2) Over-voltage A state where the voltage remains higher than the allowed limit of the input power conditions of the device which constitutes a load for a long time. Generally, this refers to cases where the connection time is equal to or more than 2.5 seconds. Overvoltage results from line facility failures at electric power companies and incidentally load reduction that occurs within the same facilities and in the neighboring facilities located on the same power transmission line. (3) Voltage reduction (Sag) A short-duration low voltage state. This generally refers to cases where the connection time is equal to or less than 2.5 seconds per half a cycle. Voltage reduction (sag) often takes place as a result of load fluctuations within the same facilities. In addition, long wiring and narrow electric wires are likely to cause voltage reduction (sag) as the source impedance is high. (4) Voltage rise (Surge) A short-duration over-voltage state. This generally refers to cases where the connection time is equal to or less than 2.5 seconds per half a cycle.

The amplitude of an impulse is not measured with null voltage set as the origin but from the time it is generated on a sine wave. (6) Notch Transitional electric power interruption. Generally, this refers to phenomena where the Therefore, a Generally, this refers to voltage drops to zero in a short connection time of half a cycle or less. notch is considered to be included in the time of interruption. power interruption of within one second.

11.3.2 UPS Operation Methods As described in Chapter 4 Power Supply Requirements for the Computer, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is required when the facilities do not meet the input power requirements. NEC offers UPS systems for computers. The UPS operation methods can be classified as follows. (1) Classification based on the feeding system a) Constant inverter feeding system A basic UPS operation method, comprising the rectifier, the batteries, the inverter and the AC switch. Power is fed to the loads by the inverter that is constantly operated. Since a DC section exists, the fluctuations experienced by the input side are absent on the output side so that stable output can be achieved. Constant Inverter Feeding System
AC switch
Commercial power
Rectifier
Inverter
Batteries
b) Constant bypass (commercial) feeding system This system is also known as the SPS (Standby Power System). Commercial power feeding is used for regular operations through bypass (commercial) input and power is fed by the inverter when power is interrupted (power outage or transient interruption) or an instantaneous voltage drop takes place. The cold standby system and the hot standby system are available; the former refers to the state where the inverter is set on standby in an idle state, while the latter refers to the state where the inverter is set on standby in a running state. While this system reduces the loads entered during operation, it raises certain issues relating to, for example, the switching time at the time of power input and interruption.

Appendix
(2) Classification based on the operation system a) Single unit operation system An operation system with a bypass circuit to back up operations when the inverter fails. This is designed to increase system reliability. The instantaneous interruption type and the non-instantaneous interruption type are available; the former uses an electromagnetic contactor, while the latter uses a semiconductor switch which performs switching in synchronization with commercial power. When the entered loads temporarily increase, switching to commercial power takes place with no instantaneous interruption. In addition, a large capacity UPS comes with the auto return function to switch over to commercial power when an overload state takes place and automatically return to the inverter circuit when loads drops to 100% or less.

11.3.3 UPS Motion Interpretation The UPS is set in five operation modes shown below. In particular, when power outage, overload and failure occur, the UPS switches its mode to battery and bypass operations with no instantaneous interruption in order to prevent failure of and damage to the computer system to which power is fed.

power. c) Charges batteries concurrently at the supplying the power.
(2) When power outage takes place

a) Detects power outage. b) Supplies DC power from the batteries to the inverter. c) The inverter converts direct current power to AC power to ensure stable AC power supply.
Batteries
(3) When overload takes place a) Detects overload or excessive rush

current. b) The AC switch performs switching from the inverter circuit to the bypass circuit with no instantaneous interruption so that power will be supplied from the by-pass circuit. c) When rush current ends, changing from the bypass circuit to the inverter circuit takes place automatically with no instantaneous interruption so that AC power is supplied through the inverter circuit.

Principal Functions
(1) When the bypass power supply operates normally, the operation takes place in synchronization with the bypass power supply. However, when the CVCF fails, the circuit switches to the bypass power supply with no instantaneous interruption. (2) Switching from the bypass power supply to the CVCF takes place with no instantaneous interruption. (1) Multiple CVCF units are operated in parallel. (2) Even if a CVCF unit fails, the unit experiencing failure is selectively shut off, and stable power supply to the load is continuously ensured. (3) As one unit is set as a backup, the total device output is calculated as follows;{(n-1) output of a single unit}.

(1) When the bypass power supply operates normally, multiple CVCF units are operated in parallel in synchronization with the bypass power supply. When one CVCF unit fails, the unit is selectively shut off and the remaining sound CVCF units supply power. Should two or more CVCF units fail and the load current exceeds the current enabled to be supplied, switching to the bypass operation takes place with no instantaneous interruption. (2) Switching from the bypass power supply to the CVCF takes place with no instantaneous interruption. (1) When the bypass power supply operates normally, multiple CVCF units are operated in parallel extension in synchronization with the bypass power supply. When one CVCF unit fails, the unit is selectively shut off and the remaining sound CVCF units supply power. Should two or more CVCF units fail and the load current exceeds the current enabled to be supplied, switching to the bypass operation takes place with no instantaneous interruption. (2) The branched output does not affect other outputs when over-current occurs and the output alone is switched to the bypass operation with no instantaneous operation.
