SmartRow™ for Digital Ceiling
The SmartRow for Digital Ceiling contains all supporting infrastructure
required to successfully deploy your Cisco Digital Ceiling in up to a
120,000ft2 building. This row based system is specifically designed to
support up to 50 Cisco 3850 switches featuring 24 PoE 60W ports on
each switch, for a maximum of 1,200 PoE end-points.
The SmartRow for Digital Ceiling completely eliminates the need
to build a dedicated MDF/IDF closet to host your Digital Ceiling
infrastructure in large buildings. SmartRow delivers data center grade
thermal management, UPS power conditioning, monitoring and
control technologies, emergency ventilation and cable management
all in an enclosed room neutral system. With multiple ways to configure
for future expansion, and power and cooling redundancy levels, it is a
flexible solution to meet today’s needs while being prepared for
the unknown of tomorrow. It will save several weeks in your
construction schedule and decreases the number of people required
to finish the project.

SmartRow™ for Digital Ceiling
The SmartRow for Digital Ceiling contains all supporting infrastructure required to successfully
deploy your Cisco Digital Ceiling in up to a 120,000 ft2 building. It will save several weeks in your
construction schedule and decreases the number of people required to finish the project.
Complete Datacenter Infrastructure. The SmartRow contains
all of the necessary sub-systems to create the datacenter environment
required to support the Cisco 3850 switches inclusive of the racks,
power conditioning and distribution, cooling with automatic back-up
ventilation equipment, and monitoring.
Room Neutral Design. The SmartRow’s closed architecture
isolates the system from the building HVAC which typically can not
support the dense heat load. It also avoids issues resulting from
building HVAC setback operation during nights and weekends which
can cause these switches to shutdown on high temperature. This
factory engineered architecture allows for very predictable and
repeatable performance on-site while delivering up to 27% energy
savings over alternative approaches.
Power Distribution and Back-up. The SmartRow comes equipped
with a high-efficiency, redundant 75kVA Liebert® APM™ UPS with
battery cabinet options for either standard or extended battery
runtimes, a power bypass / distribution cabinet, and intelligent rack
PDU’s. The intelligent rack PDU’s allow you to monitor and control each
of the (120) C13 receptacles individually for greater awareness and
allows for hard-rebooting of switches remotely.
Physical Security. The SmartRow for Digital Ceiling has lockable
front and rear networking racks and can be equipped with additional
sensors and access controls for remote awareness and management.
Expansion Channels. Fully enclosing the SmartRow system, the
expansion channels ensure only conditioned air reaches the Cisco
switches, UPS and batteries while also increasing the capacity and
efficiency of the cooling system. The expansion channels also reduce
the sound level of the row based equipment and its dependency on the
building HVAC allowing the SmartRow to be deployed in shared spaces
– no need to build out dedicated MDF/IDF rooms.
Controls and Monitoring. The SmartRow comes equipped with
Liebert iCOM™ controls that manage the cooling system in real-time,
including the outdoor heat rejection, and ensures the highest levels of
efficiency. All power and cooling components can be managed via the
network using standard management protocols.
Remote Access. You will be able to always access the Cisco switches
through your network or a modem connection. This means you will
never lose access to your network equipment and will be able to
commission, troubleshoot, and fix issues remotely saving you time
and money.
Cooling System. The SmartRow integrated high-efficiency cooling
system is comprised of an 20kW air-cooled Liebert CRV™ row based
cooling unit, a high efficiency outdoor condenser, and back-up
ventilation fans that will automatically activate during a loss of primary
cooling to prevent the switches from overheating. With standard and
expanded outdoor temperature configurations available, the SmartRow
for Digital Ceiling can be quickly deployed in virtually any location.
Cooling. Variable capacity, high efficiency thermal management
for typical and extreme climates.
UPS. Conditioned power and distribution with extended runtime.
Backup Fans. Automatic emergency backup ventilation.
Cabinets. Two 42U, 800mm wide cabinets house 50 Cisco
3850 switches.
Expansion. Easily add-on an additional cabinet with
power distribution.
Closed Architecture. Quiet, highly efficient,
predicatable performance.

Up to 50 Cisco 3850 switches with 1,200 PoE ports can be supported
by the SmartRow system. A minimum of 4kW of continuous heat load
must be maintained inside the SmartRow (equivalent to 19 fully loaded
Cisco 3850 switches).
Thermal awareness: Two temperature sensors monitor
each rack of Cisco switches to ensure the temperature
of the incoming air is within the acceptable range for
operating the Digital Ceiling.
The cooling and UPS systems have full SNMP capabilities
and will allow you to monitor the power and sensors on a
SmartRow via any network management software or BMS
that supports SNMP.

a UL924 compliant UPS system. UL924 states that
compliant building lighting must provide at least 90
minutes of battery powered illumination, even under
extreme conditions such as electrical surges and full
loads, to ensure building occupants are provided
time to evacuate. Emergency lighting shall engage
automatically and immediately after a primary
power failure.
