Stabilizing requirements
Rack stability is important when equipment is routinely installed, removed, or accessed within the rack. To
achieve stabilization, use an HP V142 Rack Stabilizer Option Kit or HP V142 Rack Baying Option Kit.
Observe the following tips when using multiple-rack configurations:
•
A stabilizer kit is required or recommended, depending on your rack configuration.
•
The number of baying kits needed is one less than the total number of racks in a row.
•
Position and install the baying option kit before populating the racks with components.
•
Ensure that the weight of the rack rests on the leveling feet.
