I poked through AFCO's drawings at http://www.afcosystems.com/pdf/AFCO_Drawings.pdf, How much of a size hit is typical? Do you take the depth out to 52" to create enough space in front of the equipment for air to flow and take the 6-inch hit to the side for the cabling sidecar?
EHD racks with 6" sidecars, one on each side, as we have significant cabling density to handle. Rack frame is 48" deep.
What's the impact with respect to sharing the facility with non-AFCO cabinets? I would imagine that with a bunch of these things dynamically changing their air flow it would be hard to maintain a static pressure under the floor.
No impact - it's all the same racks :-) Airflow under the floor has not been an issue. It's not much different than moving perf tiles around periodically. -- Tim:>
