1. Introduction
A Micro Data Centre is a stand-alone housing unit that replicates
all of the cooling, security and power capabilities of a traditional
data centre on a much smaller, lower cost scale. It miniaturizes the
data centre into the size of an average refrigerator, offering its own
cooling and power capabilities, signicantly reducing operational
and energy costs by 30-60%, and on-premise IT footprint. Moreover,
it allows for portability and can be moved from location to location
and expanded to a set of “modular’’ data centres as business
grows. Micro Data Centres are the perfect solution for companies,
which must house critical infrastructure in a quiet ofce amongst
personnel through to infrastructure-poor remote locations.
This guide needs to be followed according to the steps of
installation to ensure the most effective installation is achieved.
2. Safety Instructions
2.1 Overview
This manual contains instructions relating to safety, installation,
operation, maintenance and warranty of this product and its
components.
Please keep this manual in a safe place for future references.
Handling Safety
Do not lift heavy loads without assistance.
Important safety note
z Caution needs to be taken when removing the
side panels of the Micro Data Centre, in particular
when dealing with the 38U as they are heavy.
We recommend a 2 man lift when removing and
re-installing the side panels.
<18 kg
32–55 kg
18–32 kg
>55 kg
z ALWAYS ENSURE the bottom brackets are locked in
and that the top pins are COMPLETELY slotted in.
z Don’t turn on the cooling system RCD until the
the wiring is completed between the Zella Pro and
external condenser.
3. Power Connection
3.1 Power Supply Requirements
Important note
DEPENDING ON SIZE AND MODEL. Power consumption can vary
from less than 10 amps and up to 60 amps depending on load.
When arranging the on-premise power supply with the landlord
or power company make sure you structure your energy bill
based on power used and not based on a xed power supply.
For security purposes we recommend a hardwired connection
directly into power source rather than a plug.
Max power supply to Zella Pro can either be 10, 32 & 60 amps
(220v – 240v / 50/60hz) depending on the model
WE RECOMMEND THAT INSTALLATION SHOULD ONLY
BE CARRIED OUT BY SUITABLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL
CONTRACTOR WITH THE NECESSARY TRAINING.
3.2 Switchboard Operation
Following the connection to mains power
DEPENDING ON MODEL THE SWITCHBOARD LAYOUT AND
CONFIGURATION IS DIFFERENT. (SEE LAYOUT DIAGRAMS –
pages 6-9)
Start Up Procedure
z Switch Mains Isolator switch to the ON position
z Very Important - Leave the Cooling System circuit breaker in
the OFF position – Electrical Hazard
z Please Note: If hardwiring 6 or 8KVA UPS – LEAVE IN OFF
POSITION until UPS and switchboard have been connected
by electrician – Electrical Hazard. (See UPS Manual)
z Switch UPS to the ON position once connected
z Important - (Leave the RCD cooling and Cooling system for
the air conditioner contractor – Electrical Hazard)

Important Safety Warning
BEFORE PLUGGING THE EXTERNAL CONDENSER POWER CABLES
(ORANGE AND GREY) TO THE BACK OF THE ZELLA PRO. ENSURE
THE COOLING SYSTEM RCD IS OFF ON THE BASE MOUNTED
SWITCHBOARD
You also have the option to unplug the cooling system/s power
cables from the back of the switchboard during the commissioning
process
PLEASE ENSURE THERE IS POWER TO THE Zella Pro
(SWITCHBOARD) BEFORE COMMISSIONING THE COOLING SYSTEM
5.1 Condenser
Depending on the model and cooling capacity the condenser
maximum distance can vary between 20 and 30 meters. The Zella
Pro is supplied with relevant cable length (3 core orange output
to condenser & 4 core grey cable. The condenser draws its power
from the Zella Pro. The condenser size and weight can also vary
depending on model and cooling capacity. The condenser will be
positioned either on the outer wall of the building or on the roof.
5.3 Wiring
The Zella Pro is supplied with all the cables (orange and grey)
which is pre-coiled and ready to be run with the copper piping
during the commissioning process. The pre-coiled condenser
cables are located inside the Zella Pro.
CONTRACTORS TO ENSURE BOTH ORANGE AND GREY CABLES
ARE LOCKED BY TURNING THE YELLOW DISK ON THE SIDE OF THE
CABLE PLUGS WITH A SCREW DRIVER. THE AIR CONDITIONING
CONTRACTOR MUST SUPPLY THEIR OWN COPPER PIPING.

5.2 Commissioning
Once the Zella Pro has been positioned in its proposed location and
connected to power the air conditioning contractor can commission
the cooling system.
Only once the air conditioning contractor has Connected wires to
the condenser and plugged the grey and orange cable into the Zella
Pro, can the cooling be turned on.

8. Start-up & Ready for Population
The Zella Pro Micro Data Centre is a PLUG N PLAY unit therefore once it has
been installed by a qualied contractor the Micro Data Centre is ready for use!
1. Follow these steps to start up your unit:
z Start-up the switchboard
z Switch Mains Isolator A & B to the ON position
z Switch Cooling System switch to the ON position only when the
cooling system has been commissioned. Leave in the OFF position
until the air con contractor has installed.
z Switch UPS switch to the ON position
z Switch all remaining switches to the ON position
2. Follow Pyrorack Commissioning steps from the installation manual.
3. Populate the Micro Data Centre with your critical equipment and add
equipment labelling in PDView.
NOTE: Ensure adequate gaps are left between the equipment housed within
the Micro Data Centre to ensure an effective air-ow is maintained. The cooling
system will maintain the optimal cooling air-ow between the equipment if this
recommendation is adhered to.
NOTE: DO NOT exceed the cooling system’s recommended BTU/h specications
(listed in the cooling system section) as this will overheat the equipment.
Meet the uptime experts
Over a decade ago Zella DC pioneered the micro data centre. Since then, our nextgeneration server rooms have been proven to work in the harshest environments
on earth. The result is a vendor-agnostic approach to software, hardware
manufactured to global standards, and partners across ve continents.
