The Ciscopress book "Build the Best Data Center Facility for Your Business" 
covers all the physical things you'll be most interested in.  The Ciscopress 
book 'Data Center Fundamentals' is more of the logical piece, covering the 
networking technologies you'll need.  I have both of these.

Sun Microsystems publishes a series called 'BluePrints' that has a whole host 
of good books in it.  The one I have is "Enterprise Data Center Design and 
Methodology" and it covers these physical things very well.

Also check the Data Center Knowledge website for pointers: 
datacenterknowledge.com is the site.

Hope that helps!
