  1. Before installation, lay down the vented and cutout tiles according to the floor layout. See the top boxes in the figures.




  2. Request that all dedicated computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units be turned on. This ensures that airflow characteristics above and below the raised floor are consistent before and after installation.
  3. Measure and record the flow rate of chilled air delivery through every vented tile. See How to Measure Environmental Elements.
  4. Measure and record the flow rates of chilled air leakage through the tile cutouts that do not have brush seals. This allows you to understand the extent of the air leakage.
  5. Compare the flow rate through vented tiles to the chilled air requirement guidelines . If the airflow measurements do not meet the environmental requirements, it may be necessary to rearrange the floor layout.
  6. After the equipment installation is completed, as shown in the lower box in the figure, repeat the air flow measurements to verify pre-installation measurements.
