(Air-Conditioning) (Closets, Telecom room, server rooms, etc…)Do the environmental controls in place conform to the manufacturer's specifications for the equipment in the room? (Includes, Air Circulation, Temperature, and Humidity requirements)
Are the racks, cabinets, and horizontal and vertical wire management adequate?
Type of cable support system used, is it properly supported (seismically as applicable) and grounded and what is the current level of fill?
Is cabling in conformance to current EIA/TIA 568A, 569, 606, 607 standards and BICSI standards design manuals?
Is there redundant fiber connections / pathways?Is proper bend radius maintained ?
What manufacture components are installedDocument number of workstations. Used / unused
Fire SuppressionQuestions / Criteria

Preferred is Category 5e-compliant eight position RJ-45 non-keyed (EIA/TIA 568A) for voice and minimum Category 5e-compliant eight position RJ-45 non-keyed (EIA/TIA 568B.2-1) for data. CAT III is acceptable in some areas for Voice alone.
When was the building cabling, including riser backbone and station cabling, installed?Is there sufficient intra-building fiber and copper multi-pair and coaxial backbone? What is the type and condition of the Intra-building backbone cabling?
Is the proper type of cable insulation used in the proper locations (ie. PVC / plenum / riser)?

Is Fire Suppression in accordance with all current VA Fire Protection Design Manual, applicable VA Master Specifications, and current Fire Codes? http://www.va.gov/facmgt/standard/fire.asp Is the room adequately protected by a fire-rated enclosure? Does fire suppression completely cover the space? Server Room, Telecom Room, every IDF/Switch closet?Are the rated penetrations adequately fire stopped? http://www.va.gov/facmgt/standard/fire.asp
Is there a signature log sheet (VA Form 4793 Visitor Register) in every IT space and does it have names on it? Are there additional forms available if the log is fully completed? (includes closet spaces)
Is the space free of debris, dusted, and reflect a generally clean and well-maintained environment?
Do the spaces apportioned for IT equipment comply with the requirements outlined in VA Handbook 7610, Chapter 239, IT Space Criteria? 8' x 10' is generally a good rule of thumb when considering closets, but review the guidelines in 7610.
What are room dimensions?What are door opening measurements?Do doors open fully or removable?Are there EMI source issues?
Is there a threat from flooding or seepage?Fire rated plywood installed?Anti static / dust preventive floor covering?
Location: Dayton, OH
Does the construction include the necessary structural support required for supporting the IT equipment? (Consider the load to your raised floors and similar situations).Examine size of rooms in relation to contents. Is there room to expand, or are the rooms too full?Are the Telecommunication rooms physically located such that station cabling is no longer 100m?Is the room shared with other services (usually electrical), or is it dedicated to IT?
