The use of server racks today is indispensable in today's IT world as a physical medium to store existing data.. A cooling system is needed so that the server does not overheat, which can result in failure of the IT system to maintain server performance. Currently, the rack cooling system which tends to cool one Data Center room still provides an ineffective cooling value (RCI). Thus, the desain of a single server rack with a closed-rack-based server rack cooling system is expected to be able to provide a more effective RCI value in cooling server racks. Simulation using openFOAM on the designed design shows that the server rack design has an RCI value of 91.6% and an RTI value of 61.5%. This is in accordance with the expected RCI value benchmark, which is in the 91-100% range, but is not in accordance with the expected RTI value benchmark, which is in the 90-100% range. Based on the simulation, the RTI value that does not match the target occurs because of the air flow bypass, so that the cooling is not effective, in the sense that too much air does not hit the cooling target, namely the server. The server design rack is able to compete with the condition that it must pay attention to the position of the server, improve the design precision of the server, and optimize the direction of the air input output into the rack, with the aim of directing the air input to the server, so that the expected optimal RTI value will be obtained.
