Koldlok Surface Mount - Model #2020, #2030, #2040

Data Clean Surface Mount

Applications

Installation in active raised floor data centers to seal cable openings without affecting operations.

Tools Needed:

  • Cutting tool (per floor tile manufacturer recommendations)
  • Tape measure
  • Isopropyl alcohol or equivalent for cleaning

Preparation:

Cutting Raised Floor Tiles
Each raised floor tile manufacturer provides instructions to properly and safely modify their products. Installers must be familiar with and observe tile manufacturer’s recommendations with regard to applicable tools, cutting procedures, the design load capacity of the cut tile, and any additional underfloor supports requirements for cut raised floor tiles.

*IMPORTANT: Data center best practices indicate that tiles should not be cut within the raised floor environment in order to protect equipment from harmful particulates. However, quick clean up of any debris or loose particulates is always recommended.

Clean the tile and bottom surface of the grommet using an alcohol wipe or a clean cotton cloth, damp with a solution of at least 50 percent isopropyl alcohol.

HELPFUL TIP: When choosing your cleaning cloth, do not use fabric or paper that will disintegrate or leave particles that could interfere with the adhesive or contribute to airborne contamination.

SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Installers must be familiar with standard safety and risk management practices when working in raised-floor environments and when modifying floor tiles.

Effective Installation of Cables

In order to minimize any air loss from the rack hole selection, make sure to allow for adequate slack in the cables. If the cables are under too much tension, the grommet may be pulled apart, resulting in a gap that will cause an increase in the flow of air escaping through the rack.

Maintaining Proper Cooling of Equipment

Failure to follow computer manufacturer’s guidelines for maintaining proper cooling may result in the overheating of equipment. Before sealing cable cutouts, ensure that there is adequate airflow to the intake sides of computer equipment or cabinets through devices such as perforated floor tiles or grates. Achieving proper airflow to the intake side of the computer equipment and/or cabinets is the responsibility of the customer.
