CASE 1:

 Structural rails 

running perpendicular to 
the length of the module 
should be fixed via bolts at 
the mounting holes between 
each long side frame, or 
Clamps can be mounted 
at the Fixed Clamp Mount 
location as shown in the 
color code key. See 7.3 for 
minimum clamp dimensions.

CASE 2: 

Structural rails 

running parallel to the 
length of the module should 
be fixed via bolts at the 
mounting holes on each 
long side frame, or Clamps 
can be mounted anywhere 
within the Clamp Mount 
Range as shown in the color 
code key.

CASE 3: 

Structural rails
