It’s not uncommon to be planning a data center move into a facility that is being designed or is already under construction. Schedule pressures often compress necessary commissioning activities and shortcuts often lead to surprises later.

The Emergency Power Off (EPO) system should be tested before you move a single piece of equipment into your new data center. Push the big red EPO button and allow plenty of time in your commissioning schedule for the orderly testing and calibration of all of your electrical, cooling, fire suppression, and life safety systems in your data center.
