Primary rack clearance notes and floor loading
The following notes apply to Figure 2
Note *1 (Figure 2): Clearance (a+b) depends on the floor load rating and
Required clearances for various floor load ratings are
clearance "c".

Provide 100 mm of clearance on both sides of the disk array when the kick
plates are to be attached after the disk array is installed. When disk arrays
of the same type are to be installed adjacent to each other, clearance
between the arrays may be 100 mm.

the center of the disk array. The position may be off-center as long as the
cutout allows smooth entrance of an external cable (check the relation
between the positions of the cutout and the opening on the bottom plate of
the subsystem) and it is within the allowable range.
Additional notes:
• Decide actual clearances in consultation with the construction
specialist responsible for installation. They may vary depending on the
size and layout of the system and building conditions.
• When multiple disk arrays are arranged in a row, base your clearance
values on the requirements of the largest disk array.
• Generally, clearances ("c") should be as large as allowable.
