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, signicantly 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 ofce 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.

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.
