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.

When a system is stored, with no spaces between frames, the floor load rating
should be at least 1000 kg/m
