Placing each storage system 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 5 (page 19)
shows two storage systems side-by-side, each resting across two floor tiles.
Figure 5 Adjacent Cabinets Placed Across Two Floor Panels Each (Recommended)
When necessary, a storage system can also rest across four floor tiles, with two adjacent storage
systems resting partially on the same tiles so that they use a total of six tiles, as shown in Figure 6
(page 19). Again, it is strongly recommended to have vented tiles in the front.

However, before placing a cabinet on floor tiles shared with other cabinets or equipment, first
verify that the floor panels can tolerate the weight and pressure loads. Maximum weight and
pressure loads for storage servers are provided in Table 11 (page 20).
When placing cabinets with their weight shared by the same panels as shown in Figure 6 (page 19),
verify that each panel can tolerate the maximum weight per panel, calculated as follows:
