Calculating clearances
See Figure 3. The total floor clearance required for the disk array includes:
• The actual space required by the equipment.
• Service clearance — the floor space required to access the disk array.
Never use this space for storage.
• Additional space required to properly distribute the equipment weight
on your computer room’s raised floor. The amount of additional space
required depends on your floor load rating.
