Dear experts,
Could you please share your knowledge about a philosophical or logical approach to EMC testing of a data center. To simplify my question let's talk about just EMI testing for USA. A data center contains computer systems and associated components, such as <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecommunication> telecommunications and <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_data_storage> storage systems, air conditioning, fire suppression and various security devices. Servers are mounted in <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19_inch_rack> 19 inch rack cabinets. Some equipment such as <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mainframe_computer> mainframe computers and <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_storage> storage devices are often as big as the racks themselves, and are placed alongside them. Should I test just one rack of a type on the turn table for RE? How many racks should be tested together for CE? Or just one? What standards are to be applicable for this situation? FCC? Bellcore GR-1089? Both? More? Thank you for your time and help.
