Hi Tim, 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? 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. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
