How do I manage the load of data center racks and cabinets?

  For data center design and architecture construction, either the floor robustness is enhanced or the equipment density is dispersed in a plane to avoid sinking or falling. Adding steel beams or lower pillars can enhance the floor support, but this is not realistic. Or add a layer of structure on the floor to spread the load of the cabinet horizontally. A reasonably designed elevated floor can play this role, or lay a layer of low platform with steel beams, and the whole structure is tiled to cover the original floor. (This method is called erecting "support plate" and has been used for many years when installing UPS heavy equipment and equipment on the roof.) Of course, we can also use more cabinets, but not full of equipment, plus-sized the aisle width to increase the cabinet spacing, spreading the load to the plane to reduce the weight per unit area. These two methods sacrifice precious space resources, but compared with structural transformation, they are easier to implement and cost less. The problem of floor load cannot be ignored. We cannot assume that the floor is reliable because it has hidden hidden dangers. The risk of collapse may occur. Suboptimal because the equipment needs to be transferred as soon as possible, the emergency scene must be quite chaotic.
