(MOP) for the particular installation.
warning:
Before drilling holes in any flooring, verify with facilities personnel that the
area will support a loaded frame and is free of gas or water pipes, ventilation
ducts, electrical wiring conduits, or any other items that may be damaged. If
the hole is drilled at an angle the anchor and frame will not come together
properly. After marking anchor locations, remove the tiles and take them to
an approved location for drilling. Do not drill tiles in the equipment area.
On the raised floor mark the corners of the tiles so that the same tile will be
