Server Room Construction, Six Months in Two Minutes

This video shows the installation of support equipment needed for the first twenty-five racks of servers. It begins after the raised floor is back in place. All of the ceiling and parts of the access floor was removed to allow footings to be poured for structural upgrades and refrigerant pipes to be run for rooftop condensers.

Timeline:

The Liebert XDC and XDH units are delivered.

Electrical work under the floor continues.

Refrigerant piping work continues above the ceiling. Connections are made to XDH units from the large distribution pipes above the ceiling grid. The pipes are insulated and covered.

The dark areas are when the light fixtures were being rewired.

The ceiling tiles are replaced. The area under the raised floor is cleaned in a dramatic shuffle.

The under-floor electrical "whips" are installed for the servers racks which later appear like magic.

Hundreds of pounds of refrigerant is added to the Liebert XD systems and they are started.
