The data center has been in operation for about 1 year and 2 months. The dust levels in the computer room are relatively high. What is the most…

High dust levels in a computer room are often due to improperly fitted floorboards. When

floorboards are not securely installed or do not fit tightly, they allow dust and particles from the

subfloor to enter the room. In a data center, this can lead to high levels of dust that affect air quality

and equipment performance.

Detailed Explanation:

Raised floors in data centers can accumulate dust and debris, especially if the floorboards are not

properly sealed. Loose or improperly fitted floorboards allow contaminants from the subfloor to

enter the data center environment, increasing the dust levels over time. Proper installation and

maintenance of floor panels are essential to prevent dust infiltration and maintain clean conditions.

EPI Data Center Specialist Reference:

EPI training emphasizes proper flooring installation and maintenance to control air quality within

data centers. Correctly fitted floorboards prevent dust accumulation from the subfloor, which helps

protect sensitive equipment and maintains a cleaner environment.
