Calculate primary rack clearance dimensions as follows:
• Clearance "a" is the space between the service clearance at the left side of
the array (100 mm minimum for installing the kickplate) and any other object,
such as a desk or wall.
• Clearance "b" is the space between the service clearance at the right side of the
array (100 mm for the kickplate) and any other object.
• Clearance "c" is the space between the service clearance at the front of the
array and any other object.
• Use the value of "c" and your floor load rating to determine the values for a
and b according to the following steps.
1. Determine how much space you can assign to clearance "c". For maintenance
purposes, try to make "c" larger (1000 mm) rather than smaller (0 cm). The
smaller "c" is, the larger "a" and "b" must be.
2. In the following floor loading table, find the column for "c" that most closely
matches your value. If your "c" value is in between two table values, use the
larger table value. Then, find the row for your floor load rating. Where the
column and row intersect is the a+b value.
3.
To determine clearance "a" and clearance "b", divide the a+b value between
"a" and "b". They do not need to be equal. For example, if the a+b value
from the table is 600 mm, then "a" can be 400 mm and "b" can be 200, or
both "a" and "b" can be 300.
