Cabinet leveling feet
The HP MCS G2 system includes leveling feet and does not require fastening to the floor. Care should
be taken during the loading of the equipment to ensure the enclosure remains stable during operation
and servicing to avoid personnel and equipment damage.
Note:
The HP MCS G2 unit supports 1,360 kg (3,000 lb) of static loads of IT
equipment on the leveling feet.
Warning:
Static loading limits cannot be achieved if the rack is:
1. Not on its leveling feet, or
2. Rolled or pushed from its position
Your floor weight capacity may not support the full static load capacity.
Check with your floor provider before loading. HP is not responsible for
floor damages due to floor overloading.
Figures 10 and 11 show the locations of the cabinet leveling feet. Ensure there is adequate floor and
supporting understructure remaining to support the load-bearing leveling feet, especially immediately
around the cutout. Once the HP MCS G2 is positioned in the proper location in the data center, it can
be lowered into place with the leveling feet.
Caution
To reduce the risk of damage to the casters, make sure that the full weight
of the rack rests on the leveling feet, and not on the casters. The casters are
designed only as an aid in moving the rack into position. They are not
designed to support the weight of the rack, and the caster may become
damaged if relied on to support the rack.
