R00 Rack Service Clearances 
The broken lines on the footprint indicate the amount of space needed by the unit during normal operation. 
For multiple racks placed side by side, the left and right clearances apply only to the leftmost and 
rightmost rack. For five to six racks placed side by side, the left and right clearances need to be increased 
to 1525 mm (60 in). Having more than six racks side by side is not recommended. 
 
Note:   Rack units are large and heavy, and they are not easily moved. Because maintenance activities 
require access at both the front and back, extra room must be allowed. The footprint shows the 
radius of the swinging door on the rear of the rack and a drawer in the extended position. The 
illustration shows the minimum space required.
