7. Installation Scenarios
Traditional Raised Floor - Fixed Configuration
Requirements
Electrical work will span the entire floorplan, in hard conduit
Three circuits terminated at every console in j-boxes, multiple outlets wired into consoles after installation
Strong coordination between trades before, during, and after console installation
Assumptions
3 circuits to each console
(2 UPS and 1 House)
Cables travel below the raised flooring

8. Installation Scenarios
PowerLinc Raised Floor - Reconfigurable
Advantages

(2 UPS, 1 House)
Armored Cables travel under the raised flooring

9. Installation Scenarios
Traditional Slab Floor
Assumptions
False ceilings and floors available for conduit and cables
Consoles can share power
Requirements
Cores drilled for each console
Drilling process is disruptive
Time consuming installation
Expensive process

10. Installation Scenarios
PowerLinc for Slab Floor
Advantages
Fewer cores drilled
Less disruption of other floors
Reduced overall costs
