Figure 14: Weight distribution on the leveling feet locations in a dual rack configuration
| Weight | |
A | 385 kg (849 lb) | |
B | 455 kg (1003 lb) | |
C | 458 kg (1010 lb) | |
D | 385 kg (849 lb) | |
E | 375 | kg (827 lb) |
F | 457 | kg (1007 lb) |
G | 457 | kg (1007 lb) |
H | 375 kg (827 lb) | |
Caution:
To reduce the risk of damage to the casters, make sure that the full weight of the rack rests on the leveling fee, and not on the casters. The casters are designed only as an aid in moving the rack into position. They are not designed to support the weight of the rack, and the casters might become damaged if relied on to support the rack.
Electrical considerations
The MCS 5042 provides two Walther Procon A5 series AC input connections and ships with two sets of power cords for connecting to redundant AC power busses, if available. Only one power cord is necessary for operation. The second cord can be connected to a redundant AC power bus to improve system availability by protecting against power source failures or accidentally tripped circuit breakers.
Note:
Electrical practices and suggestions in this guide are based on North American practices. For regions and areas outside North America, local electrical codes take precedence over North American electrical codes. For example, HP recommends that the protective ground conductor be green with yellow stripes. This requirement is a North American directive and does not override the local code requirements for a region or areas outside North America.
