Stabilizer kit
About this device
The Stabilizer kit provides stability and support and prevents possible tipping when you install, remove, or
access equipment within the HP Advanced Series Racks and Enterprise Series Racks.
The stabilizer kit is either required or recommended, depending on your rack configuration. There are four
stabilizer kit options.
•
The standard 600-mm (23.6 in) or 800-mm (31.5 in) front foot is required with deployments of
stand-alone racks. Rack rows with four or more bayed racks, without a single rack-mountable
component exceeding 99.8 kg (220 lb), do not need a stabilizer kit installed.
•
The heavy duty 600-mm (23.6 in) front foot is required when a single rack-mountable component
weighing 99.8 kg (220 lb) or more is installed in a stand-alone rack or in a rack belonging to a rack
row of three or fewer bayed racks.

are optional on either end of the row.
