Q: What if the servers are some 4U beasts with 36x 3.5" drives each?

A: On top of the UPS, because you don't get paid enough for the hazard involved in lifting them higher.

Sidenote: More than once, for shorter surveys/projects/setups, I've built what we refer to as a doodlebugger-pile. You just stack it on the floor, and secure it with some two-by-fours and screws. Because finding a deep enough rack and manhandling it up multiple decks on a ship is fucking awful. If it's secure enough to not slide during heavy seas, it's good enough for seismic.
