Activity and Processes
Rubber gaskets, if present, as the metal framework that makes up the grid system
must be removed from the grid work and cleaned with a damp sponge. Note and
report any unusual conditions, such as damaged floor suspension, floor tiles, cables
and surfaces, within the floor void.
Activity and Processes
Isolation of the data center is an integral factor in maintaining appropriate conditions.
Avoid all unnecessary activity in the data center, and limit access to necessary
personnel only. Limit periodic activity, such as tours, and restrict traffic away from the
hardware to avoid accidental contact. Train all personnel working in the room,
including temporary employees and janitorial personnel, in the most basic sensitivities
of the hardware to avoid unnecessary exposure. Thoroughly isolate the controlled
areas of the data center from contaminant producing activities. Ideally, print rooms,
check sorting rooms, command centers or other areas with high levels of mechanical
or human activity should have no direct exposure to the data center. Paths to and from
these areas should not necessitate traffic through the main data center areas.
