The key is that this is all governed by local code. 'Local' may be municipality or county, not likely state, at least in California. Raised floor is very expensive to build, so I would not want to populate it with cubicles that could be located elsewhere. OTOH we have acres of raised floor in older data centers built with multiple bipolar mainframes in plan. Who knew?

On the other hand, if the floor is simply raised to allow easy access to wiring, then it's totally appropriate. We converted an unused machine room to office space and left the raised floor in place for just that purpose. -- Donald Grinsell State of Montana 406-444-2983 dgrins...@mt.gov "Dreaming permits each and every one of us to be quietly and safely insane every night of our lives." ~ William Dement > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] > On Behalf Of Doug Fuerst > Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2016 12:58 PM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: Raised Floor > > > This is a new one.
