Calculate rack clearance dimensions as follows:
• Clearance“a”isthespacebetweentheserviceclearanceattheleftsideofthesystem(100mm
minimum for installing the kickplate) and any other object, such as a desk or wall.
• Clearance“b”isthespacebetweentheserviceclearanceattherightsideofthesystem(100
mm for the kickplate) and any other object.
• Clearance “c” is the space between the service clearance at the front of the system and any
other object.
• Usethevalueof“c”andyourfloor load rating to determine the values for a and b according to
the following steps.
1. Determine how much space you can assign to clearance “c”. For maintenance purposes, try to
make “c” larger (1000 mm) rather than smaller (0 cm). The smaller “c” is, the larger “a” and
“b” must be.
2. In the following floor loading table, find the column for “c” that most closely matches your value.
If your “c” value is in between two table values, use the larger table value. Then, find the row for
your floor load rating. Where the column and row intersect is the a+b value.
3. To determine clearance “a” and clearance “b”, divide the a+b value between “a” and “b”. They
do not need to be equal. For example, if the a+b value from the table is 600 mm, then “a” can
be 400 m m and “b” can be 200, or both “a” and “b” can be 300.
4. Calculate clearances by filling in and adding the table columns below:
