## Abstract

A computer-implemented system and method for generating and maintaining at least one data center procedure is provided. The system includes a communication network, a storage device configured to store a plurality of basic unit instructions, one or more of the basic unit instructions having at least one procedure identifier, at least one processor coupled to the storage device and the communication network, and one or more components executable by the at least one processor and collectively configured to receive at least one data value associated with a data center, select at least one procedure identifier based on the at least one data value, identify a plurality of basic unit instructions associated with the at least one procedure identifier, assemble a data center procedure from the plurality of identified basic unit instructions, and provide the data center procedure to a user interface.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A computer-implemented system for providing at least one data center procedure to a user, comprising:
a communication network;
a storage device configured to store a plurality of basic unit instructions;
at least one processor coupled to the storage device and the communication network;
a user interface configured to be accessed by a user; and
one or more components executable by the at least one processor and collectively configured to:
alert the user through the user interface that a specific method of procedure is due to be executed on a piece of designated equipment;
direct the user to the piece of designated equipment;
display an optimized method of procedure on the user interface to guide the user through a procedure by providing act-by-act instructions;
track progress of the user through the procedure;
detect a measurement obtained by a sensor associated with the piece of designated equipment is recording a value outside an expected range of values; and
notify the user and presenting the user an updated method of procedure that addresses the value outside the expected range of values,
wherein directing the user to the piece of designated equipment includes use of flashing LEDs associated with the piece of designated equipment or by use of a display located on the piece of designated equipment.

### Claim 2

A computer-implemented system for providing at least one data center procedure to a user, comprising:
a communication network;
a storage device configured to store a plurality of basic unit instructions;
at least one processor coupled to the storage device and the communication network;
a user interface configured to be accessed by a user; and
one or more components executable by the at least one processor and collectively configured to:
alert the user through the user interface that a specific method of procedure is due to be executed on a piece of designated equipment;
direct the user to the piece of designated equipment;
display an optimized method of procedure on the user interface to guide the user through a procedure by providing act-by-act instructions;
track progress of the user through the procedure;
detect a measurement obtained by a sensor associated with the piece of designated equipment is recording a value outside an expected range of values; and
notify the user and presenting the user an updated method of procedure that addresses the value outside the expected range of values,
wherein tracking progress of the user through the procedure includes ensuring that all the acts are performed correctly by cross-referencing measured values against expected values obtained from the piece of designated equipment.

### Claim 3

A computer-implemented system for providing at least one data center procedure to a user, comprising:
a communication network;
a storage device configured to store a plurality of basic unit instructions;
at least one processor coupled to the storage device and the communication network;
a user interface configured to be accessed by a user; and
one or more components executable by the at least one processor and collectively configured to:
alert the user through the user interface that a specific method of procedure is due to be executed on a piece of designated equipment;
direct the user to the piece of designated equipment;
display an optimized method of procedure on the user interface to guide the user through a procedure by providing act-by-act instructions;
track progress of the user through the procedure;
detect a measurement obtained by a sensor associated with the piece of designated equipment is recording a value outside an expected range of values; and
notify the user and presenting the user an updated method of procedure that addresses the value outside the expected range of values,
wherein the at least one processor further is configured to log the progress of the user through the procedure.

### Claim 4

A computer-implemented system for providing at least one data center procedure to a user, comprising:
a communication network;
a storage device configured to store a plurality of basic unit instructions;
at least one processor coupled to the storage device and the communication network;
a user interface configured to be accessed by a user; and
one or more components executable by the at least one processor and collectively configured to:
alert the user through the user interface that a specific method of procedure is due to be executed on a piece of designated equipment;
direct the user to the piece of designated equipment;
display an optimized method of procedure on the user interface to guide the user through a procedure by providing act-by-act instructions;
track progress of the user through the procedure;
detect a measurement obtained by a sensor associated with the piece of designated equipment is recording a value outside an expected range of values; and
notify the user and presenting the user an updated method of procedure that addresses the value outside the expected range of values,
wherein the at least one processor further is configured to terminate the method of procedure in the event of an emergency occurs or a catastrophic failure of the piece of designated equipment.
