2105 Enterprise Storage Server Clearances and Floor Loading

For more information on the 2105 Models E10, F10, E20, F20 see the table "2105 Models E10, F10, E20,
F20, and 800 Enterprise Storage Servers" on page 239.
Service clearances are 1145 mm (45 in) front and 1145 mm (45 in) back.
The following table shows service clearances, floor loading, and side clearance requirements.

Notes:
1. It is recommended that the Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) be installed on a floor with a minimum of
342 kilograms per square meter (kg/sq m) (70 pounds per square foot (lbs/sq ft)) strength.
2. If you install a Model E20 or F20 with an expansion enclosure, the minimum floor strength must be
440 kg/sq m (90 lbs/sq ft). At 342 (kg/sq m) (70 (lbs/sq ft)), the side clearance exceeds the 762 mm
(30 in.) maximum allowed. Consult a structural engineer if you are unsure about correct placement and
clearances of these machines for floor loading distribution. You need to install a 28 mm (11 in) spacer
between a Model E20 or a Model F20 and an expansion enclosure.
3. Floor loadings are calculated for maximum weight of the storage server.
4. Side clearances are for both sides of an ESS expansion enclosure. Clearances on both sides are
dedicated to the ESS. Adjoining expansion enclosures must have their own floor loading clearance.
5. Multiple expansion enclosures are bolted together using 28 mm (11 in) spacers. Move the side cover
of the E20 or F20 to the side of the expansion enclosure.
