1.6.6 Electrical cable requirements for new equipment must be given to the data center manager before implementation. The DCSS staff or facility manager must coordinate with F&S for installation of new power sources. 1.6.7 Power strips that are not data center approved will not be used in the data center and critical facilities. Customers are expected to use DCSS provided PDUs. The only exception to this will be in a case of that requires equipment to be brought into service before a permanent power source can be installed. In such instance, the power strip must be tagged, dated and approved by DCSS staff or facility manager. 1.6.8 Secondary (standalone) uninterruptible supplies (UPS’s) are not to be installed within the data center without approval by DCSS. 1.7 Documentation and Labeling 1.7.1 Sufficient documentation must be maintained to facilitate the timely resolution of problems in the facilities. 1.7.2 All equipment and servers must be labeled with legibly and in a manner consistent for all facilities. 1.7.3 All rack and power strip equipment must have labels affixed that identify the circuit and power distribution unit to which each is attached. 1.7.4 All main feeder cables must be labeled and identified as to specific use, as well as the amperage, voltage, type, connector, grid location of either end (if applicable) and length of the cable. 1.7.5 Each branch circuit and device cable installed within the facility must be labeled with its floor grid location, PDU and circuit number. Identical labels must be affixed at each end of the cable or branch circuit.
