Mount rack to floor using the location guide below for mounting
hole and overall size information.
Location Guide
Note: Floor Mounting Bolts must be used in all applications in order to
provide maximum rigidity, load bearing capacity and safety.The maximum
weight load is 2500 pounds. The weight load should be distributed evenly
across the height of the rack, with the heaviest components mounted at
the bottom of the rack.
X.XX are dimensions for 30” deep 4 post racks
[x.xx] are dimensions for 23” deep 4 post racks
{x.xx} are dimensions for 36” deep 4 post racks
*x.xx* are dimensions for 42” deep 4 post racks
Adjustable EIA Mounting Rails
All 4 rails are fully adjustable. To set depth loosen (3)5/16”-18 X
3/4” Mounting bolts and slide to desired position. Retighten to 20
foot pounds to engage washers.
Bolt Orientation
Panduit recommends putting the front rails 1” back for optimal ther-
mal and cable management.
Front rails are to be recessed less than 1.5” to be compatible with
newer thermal ducts.
