T00 and T42 Rack Weight Distribution and Floor Loading
The T00 and T42 racks can be extremely heavy when several drawers are present. The following table
shows the necessary weight distribution distances for the T00 and T42 racks when it is loaded.

The following table shows the necessary floor loading for the T00 and T42 racks when it is loaded.

The following notes are for both of the preceding tables.
Notes:
1. Maximum weight of fully populated rack, units are lbs with kg in parentheses.
2. Dimensions without covers, units are inches with mm in parentheses.
3. The weight distribution distance in all four directions is the area around the rack perimeter (minus
covers) necessary to distribute the weight beyond the perimeter of the rack. Weight distribution areas
cannot overlap with adjacent computer equipment weight distribution areas. Units are inches with mm
in parentheses.
4. Weight distribution distance is 1/2 the service clearance values shown in the figure plus cover
thickness.
5. No left and right weight distribution distance.
6. Left and right weight distribution distance required for a 70 lb/ft2 raised floor loading objective.
