Why do I sometimes need a raised floor for installing NonStop systems?
NonStop Himalaya computer systems that are installed in a dedicated computer room must always be placed on a raised-floor structure. In addition, NonStop Himalaya computer systems consisting of two or more rows of enclosures that are installed outside of a computer room must be placed on a raised-floor structure. The primary reason for having a raised floor is that power cables and data cables can then be installed on the subfloor, underneath the raised floor. Such placement eliminates the safety and damage risks posed when cables are placed on an open floor, where they might be stepped on frequently.
