Activity and Processes
B-10 StorageTek SL150 Modular Tape Library Installation Manual
each work crew should have no more than 24 square feet (six tiles) of open access
flooring at any one time. The access floor's supporting grid system should also be
thoroughly decontaminated, first by vacuuming the loose debris and then by
damp-sponging the accumulated residue. Rubber gaskets, if present, as the metal
framework that makes up the grid system should be removed from the grid work and
cleaned with a damp sponge as well. Any unusual conditions, such as damaged floor
suspension, floor tiles, cables and surfaces, within the floor void should be noted and
reported.
Activity and Processes
Isolation of the data center is an integral factor in maintaining appropriate conditions.
All unnecessary activity should be avoided in the data center, and access should be
limited to necessary personnel only. Periodic activity, such as tours, should be limited,
and traffic should be restricted away from the hardware to avoid accidental contact.
All personnel working in the room, including temporary employees and janitorial
personnel, should be trained in the most basic sensitivities of the hardware to avoid
unnecessary exposure. The controlled areas of the data center should be thoroughly
isolated 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.
