HP 10000 Baying Kit
Baying kits are used to physically connect adjacent racks to create a row of two or more units. Racks
that are bayed together with a baying kit are more stable and reduce the potential tipping of the
rack. The same baying kit supports the 10000 and 10000 G2 Series Racks.
HP 10000 Stabilizer Kit
Fixed stabilizers are anti-tip feet (front and side) that provide stability and support when equipment is
installed, removed or accessed within the rack.
The following stabilizers are available:
• HP 10000 G2 600 mm Stabilizers
• HP 10000 G2 Heavy Duty 600-mm Stabilizer
• HP 10000 G2 800-mm Stabilizer
NOTE
The 600-mm and 800-mm stabilizer designs are different between the
10000 and 10000 G2 Series racks and have different part numbers.
If racks are secured together with baying kits, the side feet installed on each end of the row of racks
are considered optional.
Rack rows with four or more bayed racks do not need a stabilizer kit installed. Single racks or bays of
three racks, with no component exceeding 100 kg (220 lbs.), a standard 600-mm stabilizer is
required.
HP recommends that stabilizer option kits be used when one or more of the following situations occur:
• If a standard 600-mm (23.62-in.) or 800-mm (31.50-in.) front stabilizing foot is installed on a stand-
alone rack, the side feet, provided with the fixed stabilizer kit, should also be installed to stabilize
stand-alone racks from the side.
• A heavy duty 600-mm (23.62-in.) front stabilizer foot is required in either of the following
situations:
– A single rack-mountable component weighing 100 kg (220 lbs.) (or greater) is installed in a
stand-alone rack.
– A rack row of three or fewer racks are bayed together
– Side feet, which are included in the stabilizer kits, should also be installed to stabilize the rack
WARNING
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure
that:
The leveling feet are extended to the floor.
•
The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.
•
The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack
•
installation.
The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
•
Only one component is extended at a time or the rack may become
•
unstable.
