Slide intent: Provide overview of the Product Family design and main feature/benefits Notes for the presenter: Direction: Clockwise beginning with the Dual Mains Input Opening Comments This illustration shows a n 80 kW unit with 8 power modules, i.e. Could be a 70 kW N+1 and a fully loaded Premium Line-Up and Match External Battery Enclosure Dual Mains Input/Output (only on SYPX80) Adds availablility to the system. If one power source fails you will be able to draw the power from the second power source instead (through bypass). This was a request from customers that purchased the higher kVA range Symmetra PX UPSs Premium Line-Up and Match External Battery Enclosure To keep the footprint of the Symmetra PX 80 UPS to one single rack it was not possible to fit built-in batteries into the same rack also For ease of design and configuration and consistent with how Symmetra PX 40 is sold, Symmetra PX 80 standard SKUs ship with both the UPS and 1 external battery enclosure. Battery Module (Described on previous slide so don’t use time on going through this again) – Mention that they are interchangeable (40 & 80 kW) Built-in Static Bypass Switch (Described on previous slide so don’t use time on going through this again) – They are not interchangeable Power Module (Described on previous slide so don’t use time on going through this again) – Mention that they are interchangeable (40 & 80 kW) Power View. Not shown on this illustration but it is the same as Symmetra PX40 Redundant Intelligence Module (Described on previous slide so don’t use time on going through this again) – Mention that they are interchangeable (40 & 80 kW)
Slide intent: Provide overview of the Product Family design and main feature/benefits Opening Comments Illustration shows an InfraStruxure PDU with a 40 kW output capacity; 60kW, 80kW, and 150 kW InfraStruXure PDUs are slightly different Custom Configurable & Tested All InfraStruXure PDU’s are available totally configured to meet the requirements of the data center. Breakers are installed, whips are cut & installed to required length and all connections and breakers are fully factory tested. Delivering a fully tested, fully configured system to the data center, ensures a fast installation and startup, saving time & money. No expensive on-site testing or configuration. 2. Aesthetic Design Designed in the form of an IT enclosure the InfraStruXure PDU has the ability to align with other IT equipment while providing a high watt density in a small footprint. The benefits of NetShelter VX enclosures are passed along to the PDU as well, such as casters for rolling, ability to roll through 7’ doors and a line-up-and-match capability with the Symmetra PX UPS. The PDU has been designed to optimize adaptability and scalability on the raised floor. For security purposes, the front door of the PDU is lockable. The PDU frame provides grounding lugs for proper grounding of the system 3. Overhead/Under Floor Cable Distribution Frame has knockouts on the bottom and top to accommodate power cable routing overhead or under floor. Provides flexibility and a PDU that can we used across all data centers regardless of their cable distribution strategy. 4. NEMA Rated TP1 Transformer Available for isolation and/or to meet specified voltage requirements. The input transformer is located in the bottom of the InfraStruXure PDU resting on a shelf. The input transformer is EMI shielded. Because the transformer is delta-Y, the neutral is re-established at the local level of each PDU, which is effective in reducing any current on the neutral wire. When used with a UPS (Symmetra PX), the output of the transformer feeds the main input breaker of the maintenance bypass panel otherwise the output feeds the main input breaker to the power panels. The transformer is a high efficiency (>98%) NEMA rate TP1 transformer (highest efficiency available in the industry) and exhibits characteristics of a K9 rated transformer. 5. Integrated Maintenance Bypass (only available with 40 and 80 kW PDUs) When coupled with a UPS system (Symmetra PX), the InfraStruXure PDU is equipped with a maintenance bypass panel. The maintenance bypass is a three breaker scheme that allows the UPS to be electrically isolated from the utility while maintaining the power panels. The input bypass breaker is labeled as Q1, the output bypass breaker is labeled as Q2, and the bypass breaker is listed as Q3. There is a label located on the front panel that illustrates the power flow. 6. Front or Rear Serviceable Designed for maximum flexibility. ALL ISX PDU’s can be placed in a middle or an IT row. All servicing can be accomplished by front or rear access. Anecdote I met with an IT manager of a potential client to discuss the concerns he had with the corporate Data Center. It turns out the company had made several acquisitions over the past couple of years and when doing so, relocated all IT equipment to the corporate location. The time period in which the relocations occurred was short and equipment had to be made accessible with minimal downtime. In order to accomplish this they utilized small UPSs, extension cords and other cables which had been run all over the floor resulting in a spaghetti jungle. After experiencing several outages and having difficulty tracing the origin of the faults the time had come to implement a managed, clean looking power strategy that was easy to install, maintain and upgrade. An InfraStruxure Power Distribution Unit coupled with a Symmetra PX was the perfect fit. It would give the client a chance to implement a managed power infrastructure without disturbing the current situation except when migrating equipment. By using the InfraStruXure PDU, installation was made fast, simple and at a minimal cost. Some pre-installation work had been done over a couple of hours so everything was ready prior to the PDUs arrival. The PDU arrived onsite fully configured with a male input power plug. The PDU was set in place, connected to the UPS and power cords were uncoiled and run through overhead power troughs to metered power strips located in the rear of It enclosures in just a couple of hours. The client now had a managed, clean looking power infrastructure that he could migrate his IT equipment to with minimal downtime and simple methods for installation, maintenance and upgrades.
Slide intent: Presentation/Family introduction. Notes for the presenter: Begin by telling your audience that you will talk about the NetShelter SX family for approximately 18 minutes. Mention that the NetShelter SX family is the Next Generation Enclosure and is an integral part of the InfraStruXure Type A & B architecture but that this presentation will not focus on InfraStruXure. Ask your audience if they have any questions before you begin. (BEFORE next slide remember to insert your own agenda if this slide is the first in your presentation).
Opening Comments : ~Removing the heat from the hot aisle is a better return air path than placing the air conditioner along the perimeter. ~Because the InRow RP is placed in the row, air mixing is minimal. ~The hot air enters from the rear of the unit and passes through the cooling coil. ~Heat is captured in the cooling coil. ~Cold air is then supplied to the room. ~The InRow RC is suitable for use on a hard or raised floor.
Opening Comments: The following illustration shows the many benefits of the InRow RP. ~ ~Electric Reheat prevents overcooling during dehumidification cycles. ~The cooling coil has been designed to maximize heat transfer utilizing a copper tube, aluminum fin construction. There is both a chilled water and R-407C refrigerant based unit available. ~The air filter removes airborne particles in order to protect the cooling coil. The In Row RP is designed to accommodate up to a 4” 85% efficient filter for maximum filtration. ~The unit can be piped through the top or bottom of the unit, thus adapting to any IT environment. ~The Steam humidifier delivers exact amounts of humidification to maintain optimal environmental conditions. ~Variable Speed Fans reduce energy consumption during off-peak cooling periods. ~Variable Speed Compressor ~Casters allow for mobility and easy installation. ~Moisture removed from the air during cooling and dehumidification is pumped away to ensure continuous operation.
(Note: for less experienced crowds, you may have to give detailed explanation of where the hot / cool air goes w/ this slide) And for the ultimate in predictable performance in large high dense facilities, we have IR with HACS. To illustrate this, ask crowd to think back to potential sources of change when we were “disrupting the balance”. Now we have only one manageable constraint of total power. Not an immensely complicated iterative CFD process requiring multiple failure mode analysis. Here we have pretested predictability. This config has 4xIR’s, N+1, so my limit is 90kW. I don’t care if you put 30kw in 3 racks then leave all the rest blank (w/ blanking panels). Processor utilization doubles, 10kw rack becomes 20kw, etc, no problem because there is not a positional dependence of performance. An IR at end of row, (within reason – for an 80’ long row we’d want to test) has equal ability to serve loads at other end. The concept is a massive common return air plenum. This makes it easy to add capacity intended to serve initially present config, or future expansion…… (lead in to next slide)

Slide intent: Summarize the top benefits of the Product Family. The key take - away. Speed: The message here is that data centers used to take months/years to specify, design, install, and commission. With the aide of the ISX BOT, CTO process, and standard, rack based modules, ISX can be rolled out in a matter of days. Takeaway message: ISX enables you to go faster. Availability: Everyone today is looking for more availability from their systems. The built-in redundancy of the Symmetra PX used within ISX systems gives a higher level of availability (N+1) without the need to buy a second UPS system. You can also recap the fact that the Symmetra is a redundant system. NOTE : If the customer is looking to achieve a true “2N” design in which they have 2 separate power sources to each rack, they will require a UPS/PDU system. APC’s position is not against “2N” systems, but very often the cost to get a true “2N” system is insurmountable. You can also touch other points that the system is proactively managed. For example, you can monitor the amount of current flowing to each branch circuit thereby proactively identifying a potential circuit overload before it occurs. Utilizing the NetShelter VX enclosures, an ISX solution provides a secure environment System is pre-tested (breakers, etc.) in APC’s factory before its sent out Low Mean-Time-To-Repair is achieved by using modular components that can swapped out in a matter minutes thereby achieving a faster repair time Many aspects of the system are managed proactively (ie power path, etc.) Adaptable: ISX system is rack-based and modular, you can add/subtract/move modules easily to meet demand Easily scale/modify the system to accommodate additional power density (ex. Blade servers) or cable densities (ex. Patch panels, etc.) With pre-configured whips, a customer can quickly change the receptacle type in the rack NetShelter VX systems are vendor neutral guaranteeing compatibility with all major vendors Cost: ISX gives the client the ability to install just what is required today. By only building what is required, the client is assured not to overbuild and sacrifice money in architecture that will never be used. ISX is scalable internally to exactly meet the load requirement. Typical cost savings are at least 20% on capital cost and 30% operating cost. Please refer back to the white paper “Avoiding Costs for Oversizing Data Center and Network Room Infrastructure”. Minimize the amount of one-time engineering required for customized systems No raised floor is necessary for cabling or cooling systems
