Heavy-duty Columns
The rack columns are a folded design made
of 12-gauge rolled steel that supports up to
2000 lbs. Running up the inside of the fold
are square mounting slots for the rails,
slides, and screw holes for securing the
rails. The hole placement conforms to EIA
standards.
The mounting columns are welded into
place at the bottom corners of the frame,
and bolted at the top. The columns accept
supporting rails into mounting slots. Each
support rail pair attaches between the
front and rear columns. The equipment is
then mounted on the support rails.
The mounting columns have pre-
positioned threaded inserts pressed into
the hexagonal accessories holes in the
front faces of the columns. The inserts are
positioned to accept tie brackets, hinges,
latches, and PDUs.
Anti-Tip Feet
A front and rear anti-tip foot are included
with HP Rack Systems to provide additional
stability. The anti-tip feet must be attached
before installing, servicing, or removing any
equipment. Do not remove the anti-tip feet
unless the optional tie-together kit is used
with multiple racks.
WARNING
The stability work sheets should be used whenever a new system is configured, or a
change to a system is made, to assure rack stability.
