Abstract
A rack installation control system adjustably controls the rate at which rack computer systems are installed in computer rooms in one or more data centers, based on the electrical power consumption by the installed rack computer systems. The rack installation rate can be adjusted based on installed rack computer system power consumption exceeding a threshold, including a threshold proportion of a power supply capacity of a power distribution system. When the power consumption by installed rack computer systems in a particular computer room exceeds a threshold, rack computer system installation can be initiated in an additional room. Where a computer room includes a fixed number of positions, and when the fixed number of racks is installed in the computer room and at least some power distribution system power capacity is available, additional rack computer systems can be installed in an additional space to consume the available power distribution system capacity.
