Computer room location

Things to consider with regard to location of the computer room are summarized
below.
(1) Operability
The computer room should be conveniently located for access to communication with
related departments and for data receipt, issue, and relocation.
(2) Security
From a security standpoint, the computer room should be located on the lower middle
floor of a building, rather than the top floor or a basement. The first floor facing the
street should also be avoided. In addition, the top floor is not suitable since top floor
would be influenced by the effects of heat from the rooftop and ambient-air
temperatures.
(3) Sunshine requirements
Computer rooms do not have any special sunshine requirements because they
typically house a limited staff of operators and a large set of devices.
(4) Power supply
Computer rooms installed in buildings should be so located to afford access to the
required power source.
(5) Air conditioning
Computer rooms installed in buildings should be so located to afford access to air
conditioning.
