Computer Room Layout
The location of the Cluster Platform 15K/9960 system on perforated floor tiles, and
the number of tiles available to provide cooling air in a typical computer room
raised floor environment, is critical to the overall cooling performance.
Each tile needs to be capable of delivering 600 cubic feet per minute (cfm) cooling air
at 0.07 inches of water. Review the floor plan layout in
FIGURE 3-1
for planning your
solid and perforated tile floor configuration.
