FC 6080
FC 6080 is an optional rack feature that provides extra hardware that reinforces the rack and anchors it to
the floor. The feature provides enhanced rigidity and stability of the rack. This feature includes a large
steel brace or truss that bolts into the rear of the rack. It is hinged on the left side (when looking at the
rear of the rack) and can swing out of the way for easy access to the rack drawers when necessary. This
feature also includes hardware for bolting the rack to a concrete floor or a similar surface and bolt-in steel
filler panels for any unoccupied spaces in the rack.
Notes:
1. If FC 6080 is installed, a tool is required to remove the bolt to secure the side cover to the rack.
2. FC 6080 is not supported on 9080-MHE, 9080-MME, 9119-MHE, and 9119-MME systems due to the
lack of cable space near the braces. Instead, you can use FC ERGC for these systems.
3. FC ERG0 (rear rack extender) cannot be used with FC 6080.

7014-T00, 7014-T42 or 0553 racks can be bolted together in a multiple rack arrangement. This figure
shows that arrangement.
A kit is available including the bolts, spacers, and decorative trim pieces to cover the 25.4 mm (1 in.)
space. For service clearances, see the service clearances as shown in the table for the model 7014-T00 rack.

7014-T00, 7014-T42, and 0553 rack weight distribution and floor loading:
Racks can be heavy when populated with several drawers. Use the Weight distribution distances for
racks when loaded and Floor loading for racks when loaded tables to ensure proper floor loading and
weight distribution.
The 7014-T00, 7014-T42, and 0553 racks can be extremely heavy when several drawers are present. The
following table shows the necessary weight distribution distances for the 7014-T00, 7014-T42, and 0553
