how to install Middle Atlantic SRB Series Seismic Certified Riser Base
- Prepare the rack space and confirm there is sufficient clearance for a 3-bay SRB base with 26D depth and 24H height, ensuring access to all sides for installation and maintenance
- Mount the SRB Seismic Base to the rack using the standard SRB mounting hardware and the rack’s designated mounting points, following the rack manufacturer’s guidelines for seismic-rated installations
- Route cables through the integrated routing channels, taking advantage of the tie-down access points to secure cables at regular intervals and prevent movement during seismic events
- Install compatible SRB accessories as needed to tailor the base to your environment, maintaining orderly pathways and avoiding cable crowding
- Perform a final inspection to confirm all cables are properly secured, routed, and labeled, and verify accessibility for routine maintenance while ensuring compliance with seismic and facility standards
