Raised And Non-Raised Floors - Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G350 Site Preparation Manual

Raised and non-raised floors

Your storage system can be installed on a raised or non-raised floor.
A raised floor consists of load-bearing floor panels laid in a horizontal grid above a
building floor. The raised floor is supported by adjustable vertical pedestals to provide an
underfloor space for distributing cables, power outlets, and other services.
Installing the storage system on a raised floor is preferred because it:
Provides efficient cooling.
■
Makes it easy to accommodate cabling layouts.
■
Prevents tripping hazards because cables are routed below the raised floor.
