Floor load-bearing requirements
IMPORTANT
Although the above service clearances are necessary only when the
unit is being serviced, you should always provide at least 42 inches
(106.68 cm) of clearance in the front and 42 inches (106.68 cm) in the
rear for air flow.
It is recommended, but not required, that the EC-1700 cabinet
configuration be installed on a raised floor. To ensure proper physical
support of the system, if the system is installed on a raised floor, the
following requirements must be compiled with:
Floor must be level.
◆
Floor tiles and stringers must be rated for a minimum static load
◆
of 1,600 lbs (725.7 kg) based on two casters of 800 lbs (362.9 kg)
each per tile.
Floor tiles must be rated for a minimum of 1,000 lbs (453.6 kg)
◆
rolling load.
Do not position the EC-1700 cabinet with more than two casters
◆
on a single floor tile.
Use 24 x 24 in. (61 x 61 cm) heavy duty steel filled with concrete
◆
floor tiles. If different size or type tiles are used, customer must
insure that the tiles are load rated as specified above.
Use or create no more than one floor tile cutout that is no more
◆
than 12 in. (30.5 cm) wide by 12 in. (30.5) deep, or no larger than
recommended by the customer's floor tile manufacturer, in each
24 x 24 in. (61x 61 cm) floor tile. See (Figure 7 on page 35).
Floor tile cutouts will weaken the tile. Therefore, at least one
◆
additional pedestal mount adjacent to the cutout of a tile is
required. The number and placement of additional pedestal
mounts relative to a cutout should be in accordance with the tile
manufacturer 's recommendations.
Care should be taken when positioning the cabinets to make sure
◆
that a caster is not moved into a cutout.
The customer needs to ensure any equipment placed adjacent to
◆
the EC-1700 does not cumulatively surpass the load bearing
capacity of their floor.
