The following table shows weight and floor loading for fully loaded 2850 cabinet. Failure to follow the procedures in Installation Weight Considerations for 2850 Cabinets may result in physical damage and/or bodily injury.
Vented floor tiles cannot support as much weight as solid tiles. When moving cabinets in a computer room, replace vented floor tiles with solid floor tiles along the path where cabinets will be rolled. Failure to do so may cause damage or collapse of vented floor tiles, resulting in physical damage and/or bodily injury.
