Preparation:

Determine the maximum dimensions of the trimmed cutout or opening in the raised oor. 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 (Does not

apply when grommet is installed facing down - See Install Procedures for more information)

Accurately measure and mark the desired length on the metal extrusion for cutting.

Determine whether to install grommets by screwing the product directly to the oor using

self-tapping screws or by applying double sided adhesive tape. Optional mounting screws or

non-particulating adhesive tape are available for custom installation. Minimum order may

apply. Please call for details.

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 disin-

tegrate or leave particles that could interfere with the adhesive or contribute to airborne

contamination.

Modication of Grommets

KoldLok Extended Grommets can be modied to seal large and unique openings in the
raised oor. The KoldLok 60” Extended Grommet will come complete with a removable
short lament brush (support brush), a removable long lament brush and the metal extru-

sion. The metal extrusion and brushes may be cut to a desired length.

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

1. Cut the metal extrusion with an appropriate cutting tool. File any rough or sharp
edges.

2. Measure and cut both long and short lament brushes with bolt cutters. Crimp the
ends of the channels with pliers or a vice to prevent bristles from falling out.

3. Bend brush lament frames slightly, in order to secure them in the metal extrusion
channels.

4. Use a hammer (or mallet) to maneuver the brush into the metal extrusion so that all
components are ush. NOTE: Short lament brush should be installed in the bottom

extrusion channel in all installations.

Installation Procedure with Self-Tapping Screws

*IMPORTANT: If the KolkLok Extended Raised Floor Grommets are being installed in an ac­tive data center, if possible, remove the oor tile and install the grommet outside of the

data center to prevent the risk of particulates.

1. Position the grommet over the cable cutout, with the metal extrusion resting on the

oor tile and grommet brush laments covering the cutout.

2. Ensure the metal extrusion 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 double
sided adhesive tape. See Installation Procedure with Double Sided Adhesive Tape
below.

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

metal extrusion to attach the grommet to the raised oor.

4. Grommet may be installed with the extrusion facing up (surface mount) or down
(ush mount) depending on specic site placement requirements.

5. If the grommet is installed ush mount (with the metal extrusion facing down), then
place the short brush lament (support brush) on the bottom.

NOTE: Short lament brush should be installed in the bottom extrusion channel in all installations.

Installation Procedure with Double Sided Adhesive Tape

1. Measure double sided adhesive tape and cut to appropriate length with scissors. Re-

move one layer of adhesive backing and place tape rmly onto grommet frame.

2. Remove the second layer of adhesive backing from the tape. Position the grommet on

the oor tile and over the cable cutout.

3. Adhere the unit to the oor. Press down rmly on all portions of the unit to ensure a
secure connection to the raised oor surface.

4. If the grommet is installed ush mount (with the metal extrusion facing down), then
place the short brush lament (support brush) on the bottom.

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 recommendations

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 to protect cables from damage.

Maintaining Proper Cooling of Equipment

Failure to follow computer manufacturer’s guidelines for maintaining proper cooling may

result in the overheating of equipment. 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.
