Figure 2-3. System Weight Distribution
1. All measurements are taken from the outside edge of the machine frame,
2. Example 1 of the table shows floor loading for a maximum-weight frame in
If weight distribution clearances are overlapped, the customer should obtain the
services of a qualified consultant or structural engineer to determine floor loading.
Service Clearance
Under typical conditions,service clearances of adjacent products may be overlapped
but weight distribution areas should not be overlapped. Regardless of floor loading,
minimum service clearances must be observed. The zSeries 800 requires 762 mm
(30 in) of service clearance on all four sides of the machine.

are installed. The 'a', 'b', and 'c' dimensions represent the depth of the covers.
When a system is stored, with no spaces between frames, the floor load rating
should be at least 1000 kg/m
