Unlike weight distribution areas that are required to handle floor loading, keep in
mind that service clearances of adjacent unrelated storage units can overlap.
Note: The terms service clearance and weight distribution area are often confused with
each other. The service clearance is the area that is required to open the
service covers and to pull out components for servicing. The weight
distribution area is the area that is required to distribute the weight of the
storage unit.
Earthquake Resistance Kit installation preparation
Before an IBM service representative can install the Earthquake Resistance Kit on
any of your storage units racks, you must purchase fastening hardware and
prepare the location where the kit is to be installed.
Note: The Earthquake Resistance Kit option is available for models 951 and 95E,
and available for models 941 and 94E as an RPQ.
The required tasks that you must perform before the Earthquake Resistance Kit
installation depends upon whether your storage unit sits on a raised or a
nonraised floor. For either type of installation, work with a consultant or structural
engineer to ensure that your site preparations meet the requirements.
