▼ Use a Metal Plate to Cross Gaps in the Floor

To prevent the server wheels from falling into holes or gaps in the floor, always use a
3/16-inch (4.8-mm) thick A36 metal plate with beveled edges to cross these gaps. The
plate must be wide enough to bridge the gap in the floor.
Caution – A metal plate thinner than 3/16 inches (4.8-mm) will not support the
weight of the server. A fully-configured server can weigh around 3700 lbs (1678 kg).
