To create a secure and conditioned environment where media can be stored in a controlled manner.
B.
It is a generic name for pathways leading to other rooms that contains facility supporting equipment like the UPS room, battery room, generator room etc.
C.
It provides a safe, vented and secure area where standby generators can operate safely.
D.
It provides a secure area where supporting facilities can be serviced and monitored on a 24x7 basis without disturbing the computer room.
A service corridor is a dedicated space within or adjacent to a data centre that allows access to the supporting facilities, such as power, cooling, fire suppression, security, and cabling systems, without interfering with the computer room operations. A service corridor helps to isolate the noise, vibration, heat, and dust generated by the supporting facilities from the sensitive equipment in the computer room. A service corridor also enhances the safety and efficiency of the maintenance and monitoring activities, as well as the flexibility and scalability of the data centre design.

Question 2
Which Class of Fire involves combustible metals or combustible metal alloys such as magnesium, sodium and potassium?
Options:
A.
Class A
B.
Class B
C.
Class C
D.
Class D
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Explanation:
Class D fires involve combustible metals or combustible metal alloys such as magnesium, sodium and potassium. These metals can react violently with water, air, or other chemicals, and require special extinguishing agents1

Question 3
Which design consideration should be implemented with an Inergen-based fire suppression system?
Options:
A.
Install protective covers around the nozzles to avoid accidental gas dumps.
B.
Install the gas containers (tanks) close to the data centre.
C.
To use Inergen only for fires which are not related to electrical power.
D.
Pressure relief valves are required in the room that needs protection.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Explanation:
A design consideration that should be implemented with an Inergen-based fire suppression system is to install pressure relief valves in the room that needs protection. Inergen is a clean agent fire suppression system that uses a mixture of inert gases (nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide) to displace the oxygen in the room and extinguish the fire. However, when Inergen is released into the room, it creates a sudden increase in pressure, which can damage the walls, doors, windows, and ceilings of the room. To prevent this, pressure relief valves are required to vent the excess pressure to the outside and maintain a safe pressure level inside the room. Pressure relief valves should be designed and installed in accordance with the relevant standards and codes, such as NFPA 2001 and ISO 14520.
