Floor loading

The computer room floor must be able to support the total weight of the installed components as well as the weight of the individual racks as they are moved into position.

Floor loading is usually not an issue in nonraised floor installations. The information presented in this section is directed toward raised floor installations.

An appropriate floor system consultant should verify any floor system under consideration for installation.

Raised floor loading

Raised floor loading is a function of the manufacturer’s load specification and the positioning of the equipment relative to the raised floor grid. While HP cannot assume responsibility for determining the suitability of a particular raised floor system, it does provide information and illustrations for the customer or local agencies to determine installation requirements.

Rack static and dynamic loads are detailed below:

•Rack and power page on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/rackandpower).

HP recommends the following guidelines:

•Because many raised floor systems do not have grid stringers between floor stands, the lateral support for the floor stands depends on adjacent panels being in place. To avoid compromising this type of floor system while gaining under-floor access, remove only one floor panel at a time.

•Larger floor grids (bigger panels) are generally rated for lighter loads.

CAUTION: Do not position or install any equipment cabinets on the raised floor system until you have carefully examined it to verify that it is adequate to support the installation.

Average floor loading

The average floor load value is not appropriate for addressing raised floor ratings at the floor grid spacing level. However, it is useful for determining floor loading at the building level, such as the area of solid floor or span of raised floor tiles covered by the rack footprint.
