Seismic Considerations

To provide protection against seismic activity, the IPX 16/32 cabinet is equipped with holes that permit the cabinet to be bolted to a concrete floor or to a structural member in the floor. The cabinet base has four sets of holes (two sets at the lower front and two sets at the lower rear). Each set consists of a large socket access hole above a smaller hole. The lower, smaller hole accepts the bolt that is attached to the floor. The upper, larger hole provides access for a socket wrench to tighten the bolt (see Figure 2-1 and Figure 2-2).
