Equipment Bracing System

Equipment cabinets and racks shall be braced in accordance with local codes. Cabinets braced at the top can utilize the cable ladder rack system, if present, with an attachment that provides rigid four-directional lateral bracing. Equipment mounted on access floors in seismic areas shall be braced to the underfloor slab  with  an approved  method. The  bases of  cabinets  and racks  should  be  braced  to  the  slab  as appropriate for the seismic demand in accordance with local seismic codes or requirements.
