7014-T00, 7014-T42, and 0553 rack weight distribution and floor loading

Racks can be heavy when populated with several drawers. Use the Weight distribution distances for racks when loaded and Floor loading for racks when loaded tables to ensure proper floor loading and weight distribution.

The 7014-T00, 7014-T42, and 0553 racks can be extremely heavy when several drawers are present. The following table shows the necessary weight distribution distances for the 7014-T00, 7014-T42, and 0553 racks when loaded.

Table 1. Weight distribution distances for racks when loaded
Rack	System weight (1) lb (kg)	Width (2) in. (mm)	Depth (2) in. (mm)	Weight distribution distance (3)
Rack	System weight (1) lb (kg)	Width (2) in. (mm)	Depth (2) in. (mm)	Front and back in. (mm)	Left and right in. (mm)
7014-T00 (4)	1795 (816)	24.5 (623)	40.2 (1021)	20.3 (515.6), 18.8 (477.5)	18.4 (467.4)
7014-T00 (5)	1795 (816)	24.5 (623)	40.2 (1021)	20.3 (515.6), 18.8 (477.5)	0.0 (0.0)
7014-T00 (6)	1795 (816)	24.5 (623)	40.2 (1021)	20.3 (515.6), 18.8 (477.5)	22 (559)
7014-T42 and 0553 (4)	2045 (930)	24.5 (623)	40.2 (1021)	20.3 (515.6), 18.8 (477.5)	18.4 (467.4)
7014-T42 and 0553 (5)	2045 (930)	24.5 (623)	40.2 (1021)	20.3 (515.6), 18.8 (477.5)	0.0 (0.0)
7014-T42 and 0553(6)	2045 (930)	24.5 (623)	40.2 (1021)	20.3 (515.6), 18.8 (477.5)	27 (686)

The following table shows the necessary floor loading for the 7014-T00, 7014-T42 and 0553 racks when loaded.

Table 2. Floor loading for racks when loaded
Rack	Floor loading
Rack	Raised kg/m²	Non-raised kg/m²	Raised lb/ft²	Non-raised lb/ft²
7014-T00 (4)	366.7	322.7	75	66
7014-T00 (5)	734.5	690.6	150.4	141.4
7014-T00 (6)	341	297	70	61
7014-T42 and 0553 (4)	403	359	82.5	73.5
7014-T42 and 0553 (5)	825	781	169	160
7014-T42 and 0553(6)	341.4	297.5	70	61

The following notes are for both of the preceding tables.

Note:

Maximum weight of fully populated rack, units are lb with kg in parentheses.
Dimensions without covers, units are inches with mm in parentheses.
The weight distribution distance in all four directions is the area around the rack perimeter (minus covers) necessary to distribute the weight beyond the perimeter of the rack. Weight distribution areas cannot overlap with adjacent computer equipment weight distribution areas. Units are inches with mm in parentheses.
Weight distribution distance is 1/2 the service clearance values shown in the figure plus cover thickness.
No left and right weight distribution distance.
Left and right weight distribution distance required for a 70 lb/ft² raised floor loading objective.
