Seismic Server Rack — Anchoring and Bracing for Active Regions
Server racks with seismic anchoring, bracing and base plates for projects in seismic zones.
A seismic rack uses a reinforced 19-inch frame, floor anchors and bracing to resist earthquake loads. Typical 42U cabinets carry 800 kg to 1,000 kg, with anchor design and seismic calculations by project.

Seismic racks are specified when the project code requires equipment to remain anchored during an earthquake.
The cabinet alone is not enough: the floor anchorage, bracing and cable flexibility are part of the system.
Best for
- Projects in seismic zones
- Data centers with seismic design requirements
- Tenders requiring anchorage details
Key specifications
Seismic rack measures
| Measure | Function |
|---|---|
| Base plate | Load distribution |
| Anchor kit | Fix to floor |
| Bracing | Limit sway |
| Flexible cable route | Allow movement |
How to choose
Confirm the requirement
State the seismic class and building structure.
Design the anchorage
Base plate and anchor detail are project-specific.
Check the rack
Frame, bracing and equipment fixing must be reviewed together.
