Server Locations

• Servers are to be stored along the floor, side by side each other with at least a 2cm gap between them.
  • 6x Streaming Servers.
  • 1x Content Server.
  • 1x Spectator Machine.
• Ensure computers on an angle, with the front facing the center of the room.
  • As the computers have a very small exhaust fan at the rear, this will keep hot air circulating away from the front air intakes of the computer, allowing the exhaust air to ventilate through the side and the top of the server room.
• Ensure good airflow with either large fans or air-conditioning.
  • Poor airflow will cause thermal throttling and degrade game performance.

Network equipment Locations

• Networking equipment (excluding access points) can be places on the lower shelf in the server room.

  • Place the gateway on top of the network switch.
• Run cables from the network switch down to the server computers directly.
• Run cables to the access points/PTV Cameras through the cutout in the wall, then along the top of wall cable shrouds.
• Run cables to the Game Master through the cutout in the bottom right corner of the server room.
