However, before placing a cabinet on floor tiles shared with other cabinets or equipment, first
verify that the floor panels can tolerate the weight and pressure loads. Maximum weight and
pressure loads for storage systems are provided in Table 11 (page 20).
When placing cabinets with their weight shared by the same panels as shown in Figure 7 (page 19),
verify that each panel can tolerate the maximum weight per panel, calculated as follows:
where cabinet x and cabinet y are cabinets or equipment resting partially on the same floor
panel.
Weight and Pressure Loads
Depending on the configuration, an HP 3PAR Storage system can weigh up to 2,000 lb (907 kg).
Table 11 (page 20) provides maximum weights and pressure loads per leveling foot for HP cabinets.
Use these values to approximate the structural support required by a storage system cabinet.
