Primary rack clearance notes and floor loading
The following notes apply to preceding primary rack dimensional figures.
Note *1: Clearance (a+b) depends on the floor load rating and clearance "c". Required
clearances for various floor load ratings are shown below.

300
Provide 100 mm of clearance on both sides of the disk array when the kick plates are to
be attached after the disk array is installed. When disk arrays of the same type are to
be installed adjacent to each other, clearance between the arrays may be 100 mm.
Additional notes on primary rack floor loading and clearances:
• Decide actual clearances in consultation with the construction specialist
responsible for installation. They may vary depending on the size and layout of
the system and building conditions.
• When multiple disk arrays are arranged in a row, base your clearance values on
the requirements of the largest disk array.
• Generally, clearances ("c") should be as large as allowable.
