Weight Considerations

Use the “Maximum Packaged” weights to determine what methods you will use to move equipment

into your data center.

Use the “Maximum Unpacked” weights to ensure that the floor and subfloor can support the total

weight of the configuration. If you are placing equipment on a raised floor, consult the flooring

manufacturer for loading requirements before installing equipment. For assistance in planning your

configuration, call APC Customer Support in Japan at the number listed on the back cover of this

manual.
