Stabilizing requirements

Rack stability is important when equipment is routinely installed, removed, or accessed within the rack.
Stabilization can be achieved through the use of the Rack Tie-Down Option Kit.
The stabilizer kit is either required or recommended, depending on your rack configuration. There are four
stabilizer kit options.
• The standard 600-mm (23.6 in) or 800-mm (31.5 in) front foot is required with deployments of stand-alone
racks. Rack rows with four or more bayed racks, without a single rack-mountable component exceeding
99.8 kg (220 lb), do not need a stabilizer kit installed.
• The heavy duty 600-mm (23.6 in) front foot is required when a single rack-mountable component weighing
99.8 kg (220 lb) or more is installed in a stand-alone rack or in a rack belonging to a rack row of three or
fewer bayed racks.
Observe the following guidelines when using multiple-rack configurations:
