BICSI Data Center Standard Update Jonathan Jew J&M Consultants, Inc. John Kacperski UCLA Medical Center
Scope ANSI/BICSI-002 Data Center Design and Implementation Best Practices Standard An international standard, not just U.S. Meant to supplement, not replace existing data center cabling standards such as TIA-942 and CENELEC EN 50173-5 Large committee of experts (150) Large document (~500 pages) covering a wide range of subjects
Subjects Covered Site Selection Architectural and Structural Design Electrical Systems Mechanical Systems (i.e., HVAC) Fire Protection and Security Building Automation Systems Commissioning Maintenance
Subjects Covered Telecommunications Access Providers & Entrance Facilities Telecom Spaces Cabinets & Racks Cabling Pathways Telecom Cabling Field Testing Telecom Administration Information Technology
Status Completed 3 rd Industry Ballot Balloting continues until consensus is reached among subcommittee members and canvass list members Desire is to publish as soon as possible
NECA/BICSI-607-2009 Telecommunications Bonding and Grounding Planning and Installation Methods for Commercial Buildings
Highlights of NECA/BICSI 607 Busbar to Equipment New Terminology Emphasis on Installation Techniques
Telecommunications Room Bonding Jumper Telecommunication Equipment Bonding Conductor (TEBC) Rack Bonding Conductor (RBC) Grounding Equalizer (GE) Vertical Rack Grounding Busbar (RGBV) Telecommunications Grounding Busbar (TGB) Unit Bonding Conductor (UBC) Telecommunications Bonding Backbone (TBB)
Equipment & Rack Bonding Option 1 Option 1 Equipment attached to a rack bonding conductor (RBC) From rack/cabinet to TEBC Requires multiple cutting and stripping of the RBC Requires multiple irreversible connections * NECA/BICSI-607
Equipment & Rack Bonding Option 2 Option 2 Horizontal rack grounding busbar mounted on top or bottom of the rack/cabinet equipment bonded directly to the busbar with a unit bonding conductor (UBC) UBCs may be longer Adds to the complexity of cable management
Equipment & Rack Bonding Option 3 Option 3 Vertical rack grounding busbar runs length of rack/cabinet equipment bonded directly to the busbar with a unit bonding conductor (UBC) Preferred option resulting in short lengths of UBCs
Equipment & Rack Bonding Unacceptable practice series or daisy chain connected equipment bonding conductors * NECA/BICSI-607
Connecting to the Busbar Remove surface debris with an abrasive pad Apply thin coating of anti-oxidant compound where connection takes place
Connecting to the Busbar Attach lugs to the busbar stainless steel or silicon bronze hardware tighten to the appropriate torque rating
Summary These are just a few examples of the additions made.. Hopefully, these allow for a better understanding of proper bonding and grounding techniques
