Placing each cabinet across two floor tiles is strongly recommended. It is also strongly recommended
to place the front of each cabinet in front of a vented floor tile. Figure 4 (page 15) shows two
storage systems side-by-side and each resting across two floor tiles.
Figure 4 Cabinets Placed Across Two Floor Panels Each (Recommended)
When necessary, a storage system can also rest across four floor tiles, with two adjacent storage
systems resting partially on the same tiles so the systems use a total of six tiles, as shown in Figure 5
(page 15). Again, it is strongly recommended to have vented tiles in the front.
Figure 5 Storage Systems Resting Partially on the Same Floor Panels
Before placing a cabinet on floor tiles shared with other cabinets or equipment, first verify the floor
panels can tolerate the weight and pressure loads. Maximum weight and pressure loads for storage
systems are provided in Table 4 (page 14).
When placing cabinets with their weight shared by the same panels as shown in Figure 5 (page 15),
verify each panel can tolerate the maximum weight, where cabinet x and cabinet y are cabinets
or equipment resting partially on the same floor panel, calculated as follows:
