Tile placement
You must understand tile placement to ensure that the array is positioned properly and
to allow sufficient room for service and cable management.
When placing the array, consider the following:
l
Typical floor tiles are 24 in. (61 cm) by 24 in. (61 cm).
l
Typical cutouts are:
n
8 in. (20.3 cm) by 6 in. (15.2 cm) maximum.
n
9 in. (22.9 cm) from the front and rear of the floor tile.
n
Centered on the tiles, 9 in (22.9 cm) from the front and rear and 8 in (20.3)
from sides.
l
Maintain a .25 in. (.64 cm) gap between bays.
l
Service area of 42 in (106 cm) for the front and 30 in (76 cm) for the rear on the
system bays.
