Cleaning
Dust has an adverse effect on the correct operation of data processing systems and their
environment. Floors must be cleaned every day with a damp floor-cloth.
Notes
•
It is mandatory not to use polish and wax on floors as they may remove the anti-
static qualities of the floor covering (raised floor slabs). Once a year, specialists
must be called in to clean the raised floor, the suspended ceiling, and their
plenums.
•
The Computer Room must comply with the Standard NF X44-101 “Classification
of contamination by solid particles”, Class 4 000 000 in force.

Media Storage Room
Media may be stored in the Computer Room or in an adjacent room, in which case
Computer Room environmental conditions are applicable.
The Media Storage Room floor must be designed to support loads of up to 10 kN/m
2
.
Media is sensitive to high-power electromagnetic fields. Media must not be stored in the
vicinity of electric ducts, lightning rod chutes, transformers, etc.
1.13.
Printing Room
It is strongly recommended to install all printers, including non-impact printers (laser,
magnetographic printers, etc.), in a dedicated room with its own air-conditioning system. A
large volume of rapid printing generates more paper dust than a standard printer. If printers
cannot be installed in a separate environment, the following conditions must be complied
with in order to maintain maximum configuration availability:
•
•
•
•
place in the air flow, as far away as possible from disks and magnetic tapes,
take heat dissipation into account,
clean the floor daily,
clean the raised floor plenum approximately every six months.
