Load distribution structures for raised floor data center

A raised floor data center comprising;

• a raised floor structure comprising multiple raised floor tiles, a raised floor tile of the multiple raised floor tiles comprising an opening for passing conduit through the raised floor tile;
• a frame disposed on the raised floor structure, including on the raised floor tile comprising the opening;
• and
• a load distribution structure disposed on the raised floor tile to facilitate distributing a frame load on the raised floor tile, the load distribution structure comprising:
• a frame load distributor disposed on the raised floor tile adjacent to the opening, the frame load distributor distributing, at least in part, load of the frame on the raised floor tile;
• and
• an edging bracket coupled to the frame load distributor to, in part, hold the frame load distributor in fixed position on the raised floor tile, the edging bracket extending, at least in part, into the opening in the raised floor tile to in part secure the frame load distributor in fixed position relative to the opening in the raised floor tile.

A method of facilitating supporting a frame on a raised floor structure of a raised floor data center, the method comprising:

• providing a load distribution structure for at least one raised floor tile of the raised floor structure, the load distribution structure to facilitate supporting a frame load on the at least one raised floor tile, the providing of the load distribution structure including:
• providing a frame load distributor to reside on the at least one raised floor tile adjacent to the opening in the at least one raised floor tile, the frame load distributor to distribute, at least in part, the frame load on the at least one raised floor tile;
• providing an edging bracket coupled to the frame load distributor to, at least in part, hold the frame load distributor in fixed position on the raised floor tile, the edging bracket extending, at least in part, into the opening in the raised floor tile to in part secure the frame load distributor in fixed position relative to the opening in the raised floor tile;
• wherein the opening in the raised floor tile is a cutout of the raised floor tile, and the edging bracket further extends into the cutout, covering an upper edge of the raised floor tile at the cutout to protect conduit passing through the cutout;
• and
• wherein the edging bracket further wraps over the frame load distributor and holds the frame load distributor on the raised floor tile at a set, spaced distance from an edge of the cutout in the raised floor tile.
