Placing each cabinet across two floor tiles is strongly recommended. It is also strongly recommended
that a vented floor tile be placed in front of each cabinet.
Figure 7 (page 18) shows two storage systems side-by-side, each resting across two floor tiles.
Figure 7 Cabinets Placed Across Two Floor Panels Each (Recommended)
CAUTION: Leave approximately a 1/4 to 3/8 inch space in between each cabinet for proper
clearance to open rear security door.
When necessary, a system can also rest across four floor tiles, with two adjacent storage systems
resting partially on the same tiles and using a total of six tiles, as shown in Figure 8 (page 18).
HP strongly recommends providing vented tiles in the front.
