For groupings of storage systems, where a hot aisle/cold aisle layout is
used, use a cold aisle row of perforated tiles in front of all storage systems.
An example of a possible minimal arrangement is shown in Figure 32 (
▌4▐
in the figure).
Note:
Keep in mind that the example represented in Figure 32 meets service
clearance requirements. However, floor loading requirements might require
a wider hot aisle to provide up to 30 inches of non-overlapping clearance
(for total of 60 inches between the rear side of the frames on either side of
the aisle.)
