Server Rack Cabinet Load Definition in OpenStudio

Hello all,

I'm doing simulation about Datacenter in my country. I have a problem about where I can define the load of Server Rack Cabinet in IT Room (approximately 3kWh each rack, IT Room has 100 racks).

I have tried to define that in Loads Tab (Electric Equipment Definitions) by using the load and IT Area (about 1849 square feet) so I input 2000W/square meter. The simulation run did not work and the errors said that IT have too much heat. Therefore, I think I should define that in another tab.

Somebody can help me with above problem or tell me where I can find answer.

Thank you all.
