Planning the floor layout
Learn more about how to plan your floor layout for this rack.
For planning purposes, use the floor layout that is shown in the following illustration as a guide for
cutting holes in the floor tiles to run cables for the devices in the rack cabinet.
The circles in the illustration represent the area where the casters and leveling feet might touch the
ground. Ensure that there are no holes in the floor tiles that are too close to these circles.
Removing and installing the outriggers (side stabilizers)
The outriggers are the stabilizers with wheels that are installed on the sides of the rack cabinet. After the
rack is in its final location and will not be moved more than 2 m (6 ft.), you can remove the outriggers.
DANGER:
Always relocate the rack cabinet with the outriggers installed. Keep the outriggers and install them if you
need to move the rack to another location in the future.
