Equipment Location

When planning your facilities, the following guidelines must be considered:

!Does the allocated space allow for the proper installation of the equipment and the performance of operation and maintenance activities?

!Are the environmental conditions suitable for reliable operation?

!Is the construction of the floor appropriate for the weight of the equipment being installed?

!Will the air conditioning maintain adequate temperature and humidity conditions for the equipment being installed?

!Are the proper electrical facilities available and adequate for the equipment being installed?

!Will future expansion be necessary or possible?

To plan your facilities, you must know your system configuration.

Space Requirements

The system rack requires an area that can:

!Accommodate the height of the cabinet, which is 78.7 inches, (2 meters).

!Provide a clearance above the rack of 16 inches (400 mm).

The space requirements of the area surrounding a single cabinet are given in Figure 2-1. Note that the overall width should be increased by 23.4 inches for each additional cabinet that is required by your system.
