MDF environmental
The environmental practice around the district's MDF(s) — power redundancy, cooling, physical access, generator and UPS testing, and environmental monitoring. This sub-domain covers the IT room itself; building-wide security lives in Physical Facility, the network gear inside the room in Network Infrastructure. IDFs and switch closets are out of scope.

Inventory

Every MDF the district operates — one row each. Most districts have one (the district office); a formal DR site adds a second. Each MDF carries its own power, cooling, and access posture, plus what environmental monitoring is in place.

Practice

How rigorously the district tests its power resilience equipment under load. Combines UPS and generator testing — most districts that test one rigorously test both. Anchor: NIST CSF PR.IR-3, PR.IR-4.

How environmental alerts (temperature, leak, smoke) get to humans and what happens next. Anchor: NIST CSF RS.CO-2, RS.AN-1.

State of documentation for the MDF's power, cooling, and capacity baselines. Drives ability to make informed expansion or refresh decisions. Anchor: NIST CSF ID.AM-3, PR.IR-4.

Notes

Free text — specific UPS / generator / cooling models, refresh planning, physical access review cadence, MSP relationships, anything the rubric doesn't otherwise capture.
