11. Mark the floor around the edges of both mounting plate.
12. Mark the plate bolt-down holes that are accessible through the opening in the rear of the rack.
13. Remove the rack-mounting bolt assemblies.
14. Remove the mounting plates from the marked locations.
15. If you are installing an AC-powered rack, remove the bottom isolator bushing from each of the
leveling feet.
16. Loosen each of the locking screws on the casters.
17. Move the rack so that it is clear of both areas that were marked on the floor for the mounting plate
locations
18. Reposition the mounting plates within the marked areas.
19. Mark the floor at the center of all holes in both mounting plates, including the threaded holes.
20. Remove the two rack-mounting plates from the marked areas.
21. At the marked location of the threaded rack-mounting bolt holes, drill four clearance holes into the
concrete floor. Each clearance hole should be approximately 1-inch deep. This depth allows the rack-
mounting bolts enough room to protrude past the thickness of the mounting plates.
Note: You must use a minimum of two anchor bolts for each rack-mounting plate to securely attach
the plate to the concrete floor. Because some of the holes in each rack-mounting plate might align
with concrete reinforcement rods embedded in the concrete, some of the rack-mounting plate holes
might not be usable.
Note: If the hole locations selected at the rear of the rack are not accessible riggers will be required
to install bolts in the non-accessible hole locations as the rack will have to be lifted to install them.
22. If you are installing a 7014-T42 rack with the X-brace feature, go to step 26
.
23. Select at least two suitable hole locations (A) for each mounting plate bolt. The selected locations
should be as close to the threaded bolt holes as possible. Drill holes at the selected locations into the
concrete floor.
Note: The quantity, location, size and/or type of anchor bolts and concrete anchors must be
determined by the Professional Engineer and/or the mechanical contractor doing the rack-mounting
plate installation.
