Material Requirements
The materials used for raised access flooring in computer rooms should possess characteristics such as wear resistance, anti-static properties, fire resistance, and moisture resistance. Common flooring materials include PVC, floor panels, and marble. PVC flooring is one of the most commonly used materials because of its good wear resistance, anti-static properties, and insulation performance, making it widely used in computer rooms.
Flatness Requirements
The flatness of the raised access flooring in a computer room significantly impacts equipment installation and debugging. The floor flatness needs to be within 5mm to ensure that server racks are installed without tilting and that fiber optic cables are not twisted. Uneven floors can cause significant inconvenience during equipment debugging.
Anti-static Requirements
Computer rooms are critical environments, and preventing electrostatic discharge is crucial. Therefore, the raised access flooring materials in computer rooms need to have good anti-static capabilities to prevent electrostatic interference with equipment. An anti-static performance of less than 10^6 ohms (100 MΩ) is sufficient. During floor installation, attention should be paid to the contact between the floor and the insulating mat to ensure that the anti-static performance meets the requirements.
Floor Load-Bearing Capacity Requirements
Raised access flooring in computer rooms needs to have good load-bearing capacity to ensure equipment safety. The floor load-bearing capacity should be determined based on processor layout and computer room layout. Generally, computer room flooring needs to withstand a weight of 500 kg/m² to 1000 kg/m² to ensure that server racks can be stably installed on the floor.
Convenience Requirements
The mobility and directionality of the raised access flooring are key considerations in a computer room environment. The raised access flooring needs to be easy to disassemble and move for future equipment installation and maintenance. Simultaneously, the floor wiring should be rationalized to avoid unnecessary time and costs associated with wiring.
