Weight distribution and multiple systems

Under typical conditions, service clearances of adjacent products may be overlapped but weight
distribution areas should not be overlapped. If weight distribution clearances are overlapped, the
customer should obtain the services of a qualified consultant or structural engineer to determine floor
loading. Regardless of floor loading, minimum service and aisle clearances must be observed:
v Rear dimension "d" is 991 mm (39 in.)
v Front dimension "e" is 1168 mm (46 in.)
v Both "d" and "e" are measured from the frame edge (without covers) to the nearest obstacle
v Cover opening dimensions are also shown.
Note: Aisle clearances are not the same between rows of front-facing and rear-facing covers. Front-facing
rows require 1168 mm (46 in.) of clearance while rear-facing rows need a minimum of 991 mm (39 in.).
For physical planning purposes, you must verify system placement considering:
v Weight distribution
v Power availability
v Power access
v Machine and service clearance area
v Air conditioning delivery
v Chilled water delivery
v Thermal interaction
v Cable locations
v Floor tile cutouts.
