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
