Fire rating
reinforcement for secured areas (doors)
help prevent water damage
windows provide UV protection or opaque
Facility attributes - ceilings
combustibility of material (wood, steel, concrete)
Fire rating
load and weight bearing rating
drop ceiling - SIGNIFICANT THREAT
Facility attributes - doors
Solid core (adds fire barrier)
should NOT open out unless required by code
- if it does then needs sealed hinges
frames attach to studs
minimum 3 hinges
Emergency doors
must be marked
include panic bars
Raised floors
should be electrically grounded
Humidity
between 45 and 60 percent for data processing center
Temperature
between 70 and 74 degrees
Environmental errors
static electricity
overheating
During fire HVAC
should be turned off
keep smoke from spreading
don't provide oxygen for fire
Positive pressurization
air flows out when door opens
smoke must flow out

includes "positive air" pressure
"positive drain" for water and gas lines
Sensitive Room Characteristics
no more than 2 doors
small windows and restricted number
full height walls (thru drop ceiling
Walls, door, ceilings must have SAME fire rating
- at least 1 hour
Adjacent wall to paper records 2 HOUR RATING
CCTV requirements
detection, recognition, identification
Fail-soft
door defaults to unlocked
Fail-secure
door defaults to locked
Fail-safe
door defaults to state that protects life
sometimes "fail open"
Mantraps
prevents piggy backing and tailgating
desired biometric features
high user acceptance
low enrollment time
high throughput
Door delay (cipher lock)
door is held open for long period sets off alarm
Key-override (cipher lock)
different code combination used in emergency situations overrides usual procedures

also for supervisory overrides
Master keying (cipher lock)
enables supervisor to change access code
Hostage alarm
code entered to communicate this situation
Entry controls - best practices
limit # of entrances
doors resist forced entry
screening at every entrance
log entries and exits
do unscheduled inspections
Electro mechanical systems
magnetic switches
metallic foil in windows
pressure mats
closed circuit - breaking window
most widely used
Volumetric system
vibration
microwave, ultrasonic, passive infrared
photo-electronic
proximity
not used often - lots of false positives
Primary power source
day to day power
dedicated feeders from sub station
Alternate power source
generator
UPS
Inline UPS (uninterruptable power supply)
constantly provides power from its inverter
Standby UPS (uninterruptable power supply)
monitors power line and switches to battery when there's a problem
Transverse mode noise
differences in hot and neutral wires
Electromagnetic interference (EMI)
causes by difference between wires (hot, neutral, ground)

lightning, electric motors

line noise
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
Line noise
fluorescent lighting
electric cables
radio signals
Transient noise
disturbance imposed on a power line
Power spike
momentary high voltage
power surge
prolonged high voltage
power fault
momentary outage
power blackout
prolonged outage

power brownout
prolonged low voltage
power inrush
when power comes back on.
can be high
initial surge of current when something requires an increase in power
