Abstract
It is often necessary to integrate different subracks into the same rack/cabinet and different racks/cabinets into a
common equipment room sharing the common room environment. The integration between equipment and the room is
increasingly more important. The present document is intended to provide assistance in integration of equipment and
room environment to ensure that the equipment has the required environment and that each equipment rack/cabinet is
not detrimental to the other equipment in the locality.
It should be an aid for all integrators and designers with their different elementary knowledge to integrate.

4 ARCM integration overview
The integration can be broken down into:
• Positioning equipment in ARCMs including routing the cables.
• Analysing the possible impact of thermal issues on the configuration of racks/cabinets (e.g. location of
racks/cabinets) and MRCs (e.g. location, openings, placement of baffles).
• Providing the cooling solutions.
During the integration the following parameters have to be taken into account:
• The available volume.
• The maximum ambient temperature/micro-climate.
• The provision of coherent air flow to avoid hot spots.
• The functional thermal limits of equipment.
• The cabling space.
The overall cooling effectiveness needed depends in principle on the type of equipment to be cooled and thermal
requirements to be complied with.
Special attention should be taken to check the impact of the installation of different equipment in the same ARCM on
their functional thermal limits.
It is often very helpful to check, by suitable hand calculation, thermal simulation and measurement, whether the
integration is applicable for the purpose.
5 Subrack integration in the same ARCM
5.1 Configuring equipment in an ARCM
5.1.0 Introduction
This activity consists of choosing how to combine the different subracks and the cabling in the ARCM.
5.1.1 Subrack location
This phase consists of positioning the different subracks in the ARCM.
The distribution of subracks should take into account the following parameters:
• Maximum power dissipated by the equipment for the maximum traffic load or its intended operational state.
For instance, knowledge of the maximum power dissipated will allow the integrator to locate the highest
dissipating subracks at the top of the ARCM in order to minimize the increase of temperature experienced by
the other subracks.
• Subracks working maximum temperature: For example, subracks which withstand high temperature can be
installed at upper part of the ARCM (where generally the temperature is the highest).
ETSI

9 ETSI TR 102 489 V1.4.1 (2015-10)
• Thermal restrictions of each subrack. If possible, place the most restrictive subrack in an area not heated by
other subracks, for example, at the bottom in an ARCM with natural convection cooling system, or in an area
receiving fresh air with as high an air velocity as necessary.
• The position and area of air inlet and air outlet for the different subracks. The porosity of the surface and the
obstacles to the airflow in front of the ventilation surface should also be taken into account.
• Air inlet velocity, air outlet velocity of different subracks and estimated air outlet velocity of the ARCM.
• Air velocity inside the ARCM: This should be enhanced as much as possible, by means of subrack distribution
or additional subracks, e.g. fans, baffles, etc.
• Environmental class according to ETSI EN 300 019-1-3 [i.1] (for instance maximum air ambient temperature).
• Estimated direction of the airflow inside the ARCM. It is not recommended to have in the same ARCM two
subrack types which blow the air in the opposite direction.
• Recirculation of the air. Where possible, the recirculation of a-9ir between subracks should be avoided, unless
the design is specifically for serial cooling of the subrack. The risk of recirculation is higher when subracks
with different airflow paths are installed together in the ARCM. For instance, where the increase of
temperature is significant, the hot air exhausted by a subrack should be prevented from being reused to "cool"
another one. Check also the possibility of introducing additional elements to enhance the airflow, such as
baffles (to guide the air flows), vertical covers (to improve the performance of the convection, natural or
forced), plates (to se

Abstract
It is often necessary to integrate different subracks into the same rack/cabinet and different racks/cabinets into a
common equipment room sharing the common room environment. The integration between equipment and the room is
increasingly more important. The present document is intended to provide assistance in integration of equipment and
room environment to ensure that the equipment has the required environment and that each equipment rack/cabinet is
not detrimental to the other equipment in the locality.
It should be an aid for all integrators and designers with their different elementary knowledge to integrate.

1 Scope
The present document is an aid for all integrators of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) equipment to
minimize thermal problems. It establishes recommendations for the thermal management of racks/cabinets,
miscellaneous racks/cabinets and locations.
The present document considers telecommunication Central Office (CO) and Data Centers (DC) locations.
The present document considers only the thermal factors. The integrator should consider the thermal factors in
conjunction with the ETSI EN 300 019-1-3 [i.1] and other non-thermal factors.

3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
ambient: spatial maximal temperature of the air entering the rack/cabinet
NOTE: As defined in ETSI EN 300 019-1-3 [i.1].
cabinet: free-standing and self-supporting enclosure for housing electrical and/or electronic equipment
NOTE: It is usually fitted with doors and/or panels which may or may not be removable.
equipment: equipped subracks, racks/cabinets and miscellaneous racks/cabinets
integrator: end user/operator of telecommunication or IT equipment or their agent
NOTE: For example, an equipment manufacturer could be an operator's agent.
micro-climate: conditions found within the rack/cabinet/miscellaneous rack/cabinet creating a local ambient for the
subrack
NOTE: In practice this will typically result in elevated temperatures and reduced relative humidities to those
quoted in ETSI EN 300 019-1-3 [i.1].
Miscellaneous Rack/Cabinet (MRC): cabinet that accommodates subracks of several different types of equipment and
suppliers
NOTE: It is freely configurable by the Integrator.

4 ARCM integration overview
The integration can be broken down into:
• Positioning equipment in ARCMs including routing the cables.
• Analysing the possible impact of thermal issues on the configuration of racks/cabinets (e.g. location of
racks/cabinets) and MRCs (e.g. location, openings, placement of baffles).
• Providing the cooling solutions.
During the integration the following parameters have to be taken into account:
• The available volume.
• The maximum ambient temperature/micro-climate.
• The provision of coherent air flow to avoid hot spots.
• The functional thermal limits of equipment.
• The cabling space.
The overall cooling effectiveness needed depends in principle on the type of equipment to be cooled and thermal
requirements to be complied with.
Special attention should be taken to check the impact of the installation of different equipment in the same ARCM on
their functional thermal limits.
It is often very helpful to check, by suitable hand calculation, thermal simulation and measurement, whether the
integration is applicable for the purpose.
5 Subrack integration in the same ARCM
5.1 Configuring equipment in an ARCM
5.1.0 Introduction
This activity consists of choosing how to combine the different subracks and the cabling in the ARCM.
5.1.1 Subrack location
This phase consists of positioning the different subracks in the ARCM.
The distribution of subracks should take into account the following parameters:
• Maximum power dissipated by the equipment for the maximum traffic load or its intended operational state.
For instance, knowledge of the maximum power dissipated will allow the integrator to locate the highest
dissipating subracks at the top of the ARCM in order to minimize the increase of temperature experienced by
the other subracks.
• Subracks working maximum temperature: For example, subracks which withstand high temperature can be
installed at upper part of the ARCM (where generally the temperature is the highest).

• Thermal restrictions of each subrack. If possible, place the most restrictive subrack in an area not heated by
other subracks, for example, at the bottom in an ARCM with natural convection cooling system, or in an area
receiving fresh air with as high an air velocity as necessary.
• The position and area of air inlet and air outlet for the different subracks. The porosity of the surface and the
obstacles to the airflow in front of the ventilation surface should also be taken int
