Building the infrastructure and adding inventory

[EcoStruxureIT]

When the initial system configuration is ready, you can start building the data center infrastructure and add to the inventory to create a model that represents the real-world physical data center infrastructure.

See CAD Import Supported Entities

Importing data from Excel is also supported. Contact Schneider Electric for further information and making the feature available to you.

Creating a representation of the locations and rooms

You can add locations and rooms of different types to the system to represent the actual physical enterprise infrastructure.

1. Select Planning > Data Center in the Application bar.

2. In Navigation, select the root location icon.

3. Select File > New and then one or more of the available elements:

   • Location
     Add container elements for geographical enterprise hierarchy.

   • Floor plan
     Add a floor elements 

   • Server Room
     Add room elements for representing white space in the model.

   • Store Room
     Add space elements for representing store rooms in the model, for example, for storing newly arrived servers not yet installed in a server room.

   • Electrical Room
     Add room elements for representing gray space in the model.

   • Supporting Infrastructure Space
     Add space elements for representing space outside the rooms in the model, for example for chillers on the roof.

Follow the instructions in the wizard to select the shape that most closely resembles the actual shape of the room and to define any room properties. Applicable for server rooms and electrical rooms.

Once the hierarchy has been built according to your configuration, you can continue with the configuration of the data center model, for example adjusting the room design or adding equipment to the rooms.
