MCS-200 dual-rack configuration
The leveling feet pads help to ensure weight distribution and help transfer the load to the support structure
below the floor. You must ensure proper orientation of the feet pads so that subsequent racks can be properly
accommodated.
Floor loading considerations
The computer room floor must be able to support the total weight of the installed server trays as well as the
weight of the MCS-200/100 as they are moved into position. This section contains information about raised
floor installations. HP cannot assume responsibility for determining the suitability of a particular raised floor
system. The customer or local agencies should determine installation requirements. An appropriate structural
engineer should verify any floor system under consideration for a server installation.
Raised floor loading is a function of the manufacturer’s load specification and the positioning of the
equipment relative to the raised floor grid. HP recommends the following guidelines:
• Some raised floor systems do not have grid stringers between floor stands. The lateral support for the
floor stands depends on adjacent panels being in place. To avoid compromising this type of floor
system when gaining under-floor access, remove only one floor panel at a time.
• Larger floor grids (bigger panels) are generally rated for lighter loads.
• MCS-200/100 both support approximately up to 1361 kg (3000 lb) of static loads of equipment on
the leveling feet and feet pads.
