• Remove skirts and tip plates to access the cable cutout.

• Determine the maximum dimensions of the trimmed cutout. To ensure stability and

proper sealing, the KoldLok Extended Raised Floor Grommet should have a minimum

surface-to-oor contact of 1 inch (25mm) on three sides of the cutout. Otherwise, the

Grommet cannot be used to effectively seal the cutout. Contact Upsite Technologies,
Inc. at [phone] for customized products and installation services designed to seal
larger openings.

• Determine whether to install Grommets by screwing the product directly to the oor

with the self-tapping screws or by using the Adhesive Mounting Kit.

• Clean the tile and bottom surface of the KoldLok Extended Raised Floor 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.

• The KoldLok Extended Raised Floor Grommet can be modied to t special situations.

Product Components (see Figure 1)

1. KoldLok Extended Raised Floor Grommet.

2. Right and Left End Caps for protecting and sealing the end of the Grommet.

3. Adhesive Mounting Kit provided as an alternative mounting method if screws cannot be

used. The kit includes seven foam strips with 2-sided adhesive backing to adhere the

Grommet to the oor and two strips of double-sided adhesive tape to mount the End

Caps to the Grommet.

4. Self-Tapping Screws are provided as the preferred method of securing the Grommet to

the oor tile.

Installation Procedure with Self-Tapping Screws:

*IMPORTANT: If the KoldLok Extended Raised Floor Grommets are being installed in an active data
center, remove the oor tile and install the Grommet outside of the active data center environment.
Following installation, return the oor tile and Grommet to the data center.

1. Position the Grommet over the cable cutout, with the ange resting on the oor tile and

Grommet laments covering the cutout.

2. Ensure the ange does not rest on top of any cutout trim. If the Grommet cannot be

placed without resting on the cutout trim, install the Grommet with the Adhesive

Mounting Kit. See Installation Procedure with Adhesive Mounting Kit on Page 4.

3. Once the Grommet is positioned as desired, drive a self-tapping screw through the cen-

ter pre-drilled screw hole on the Grommet ange to attach the Grommet to the raised

oor.

Installation Procedure with Self-Tapping Screws Continued:

4. Align the screw holes of one End Cap with the screw holes on the end of the Grommet

ange. Use self-tapping screws to attach the End Cap and ange to the oor tile. The

screw-hole design allows for horizontal and vertical positioning of the End Caps when

attaching to the ange. NOTE: With the inside wall of the End Caps mounted against the

ange, the installed Grommet can seal an opening the length of a 600mm oor tile. With

the End Caps extended away from the ange, the installed Grommet can seal an opening

the length of a 24-inch oor tile.

5. Repeat Step 4 with the other End Cap.

6. Attach the Grommet with the remaining screws.

7. Clean any residue that may have been created during installation.

Installation Procedure with Adhesive Mounting Kit (see Figure 2):

1. Remove one layer of adhesive backing from each of the three pads and mount on the bot-

tom of the ange at the center and outside corners in a vertical position.

2. Remove one layer of adhesive backing from each of the four 5-inch strips. Mount strips

between each vertical pad, along the rear edge of the ange that is furthest away from

the brush holders.

3. Remove the second layer of adhesive backing from all seven adhesive strips. Position the

Grommet on the oor tile and over the cable cutout.

4. Adhere the unit to the oor. Press down rmly on all portions of the unit to ensure a se-

cure connection to the raised oor surface.

5. Use the two strips of thin double-sided adhesive to adhere the left and right End Caps to

the top of the ange.

6. Mount the End Cap

Modication of Extended
Raised Floor Grommets

The KoldLok Extended Raised Floor Grommets can be modi-

ed to seal large and unique openings. The metal lament

channel and Grommet ange may be cut to a desired length.

*IMPORTANT: Never cut metal within the raised oor environ-

ment.

1. Using a hammer (or mallet) and stake, drive one of the

metal lament channels out of the Grommet ange to

the desired length.

2. Mark the desired cut line.

Step 1

3. Use bolt cutters to cut and snap the metal lament

channel.

4. Crimp the ends of the metal lament channel with pliers

to prevent bristle escape. File any rough or sharp corners

and edges

5. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 for the other metal lament

channel.

6. Mark the empty Grommet ange for cutting. Cut the

ange with a saw.

7. File the cut edge of the ange.

8. Use a hammer (or mallet) and stake to reposition the

metal lament channel in the Grommet so that the end

of the metal lament channel does not protrude from

the end of the ange channel.

Installation Guide

KoldLok® 24” Extended Raised Floor Grommet

General Information

Effective Installation of Cables

In order to minimize any air loss from under the raised-oor plenum, allow for adequate

slack in the cables. If the cables are under too much tension, the Grommet laments may

be pulled apart, resulting in a V-shaped gap that will cause an increase in the volume of air

escaping from under the raised oor.

Cutting Raised Floor Tiles

Each raised oor tile manufacturer provides instructions to properly and safely modify their

products. Installers must be familiar with and observe tile manufacturer’s recommendatios

with regard to applicable tools, cutting procedures, the design load capacity of the cut tile,

and any additional underoor support requirements for cut raised oor tiles.

When installing the KoldLok Extended Raised Floor Grommet on a newly cut hole, trim

the cutout prior to installation.

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 gaps between racks, ensure that

there is adequate airow to the intake side of the computer equipment or cabinets through

devices such as perforated oor tiles or grates. Achieving proper airow to the intake side of

computer equipment and/or cabinets is the responsibility of the customer.

Safety Requirements

Installers must be familiar with standard safety and risk management practices when work-

ing on server rack equipment or in data center environments.
