Raised Floor Weight Considerations; Mounting Holes And Cable Routing Floor Cutout Specifications - Oracle sparc M5-32 Installation Manual

Raised Floor Weight Considerations

A fully configured server weighs nearly of 3700 lbs (1678 kg), and it could weigh
more depending on how you cable the server. While the loading is over an area of
around 2.75 ft x 3.75 ft (838 mm x 1143 mm), the true stress of the server weight is
over the four casters and four leveling feet.
The server has a caster and an adjacent leveling foot at each corner of the server, so
each corner of the bears almost 1000 lbs (454 kg) of the server's weight. If a caster
and leveling foot are located in the center of a raised floor tile, that tile bears this
nearly 1000 lbs (454 kg) load. The floor tile and underlying supports must be able to
accommodate this load.

Mounting Holes and Cable Routing Floor Cutout
Specifications
The illustration shows the bottom view of the server with an example floor cutout.
This example cutout extends under the server to provide a generous bend radius for
the cables and power cords. Depending on your raised-floor cabling requirements,
your data center might require a different cutout. Contact your facilities manager for
more information.
The mounting hole dimensions are for optional mounting brackets. See
Mounting Brackets" on page 91
Caution – If your floor cutout is near the leveling feet or mounting brackets, ensure
that the surrounding floor tiles can support the weight of the server. See
Floor Weight Considerations" on page 28
Caution – Be careful when moving the server near floor cutouts. If the server's
casters fall into a floor cutout, the floor and the server could be severely damaged.
