(2) Select a rack.
For a rack to be fixed in place, select one that comes without a stabilizer. See "(3) Select a fixed construction"
below.
For a rack not to be fixed in place, be sure to select one that comes with a stabilizer. See TABLE A.1 Arrangements
for installation work.
Note
For a rack not to be fixed in place, be sure to select one that comes with a stabilizer, regardless of whether the
building or flooring has earthquake-resistant (seismic) features. Use the stabilizer to prevent the rack from toppling
during maintenance of any device mounted in the rack.
(3) Select a fixed construction.
The two types of construction for fixing the rack in place are as follows:
- Construction using an optional earthquake-resistance kit
- Construction using leveling feet
After considering conditions such as the installation floor, select either construction type appropriate to the
conditions.
To use an earthquake-resistance kit to fix the rack in place, see "(4) Arrange for an optional earthquake-resistance
kit" below.
To use leveling feet to fix the rack in place, see TABLE A.1 Arrangements for installation work.
Note
Unless it is fixed to the floor, a rack that comes without a stabilizer cannot be used. The rack must be fixed in place
to prevent it from toppling, such as during maintenance of a device mounted in the rack.
(4) Arrange for an optional earthquake-resistance kit.
To use an earthquake-resistance kit, arrange for the optional earthquake-resistance kit appropriate to the respective
base or expansion rack.
