Your landlord allowed this? When we moved a VAX 11/750 into a
commercial office building, we had to pay to have the floor (second
floor offices) reinforced (a platform built over the existing floor)
because of the loading specs. I don't know if it was strictly
necessary (perhaps the number is a worst-case-fully-populated
situation) but it wasn't inexpensive.
The Santa Clara fire marshall specified that we also had to have a
fire door installed on the machine room, not to mention a few Halon
fire extinguishers.
When we moved, of course, we had to pay to have all of that removed.
