Rack-Free Environment Requirements; Hpe Synergy Configuration - HPE Synergy 12000 Frame Setup And Installation Manual

Cables, PDUs, and other cable management hardware could increase the weight sufficiently to require
the use of the HPE 42U x 600 mm x 1200 mm Intelligent Series QS rack, which supports 2,750 pound
internal IT equipment.

Rack-free environment requirements

The HPE Synergy 12000 Frame (referred to as the frame) can be used in a rack-free environment. The
following conditions must be met when performing a rack-free installation:
• A fully-populated frame can weigh up to 249.50 kg kg ( 550.00 lb lb). The object supporting the frame
must be able to withstand this weight.
• The frame should be supported by a sturdy, flat surface.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment in a rack-free
environment:
◦ Never stack the frame on top of another frame.
◦ Never place equipment on top of the frame.
◦ Never place the frame on a surface that cannot support up to 249.50 kg kg ( 550.00 lb lb).
