Non-Raised Floor Frame Tie-Down
The purpose of this installation instruction is to install a frame tie down kit that will
provide hardware for securing an IBM frame to a concrete non-raised floor. This kit
(FC7992) is designed to help secure the frame and its contents from damage when
exposed to vibrations and shocks such as those in a seismic event.
You are responsible for obtaining the services of a qualified consultant or structural
engineer to determine what must be done at your particular location to install five
anchors per stabilizer, securing the front and rear stabilizers to the concrete floor
according to the following illustration.
Contact your marketing representative well ahead of server delivery to obtain the
stabilizers so that the site will be ready when the server arrives.
Use the following illustration to plan carefully where the anchors that secure the
stabilizers must be installed.

The stabilizer fasteners should be heavy duty sleeve anchors, 12 mm (0.5 in) in
diameter, capable of withstanding a minimum allowable tensile load in concrete of
1025.1 kg (2260 lb) and a minimum allowable shear load in concrete of 2111.5 kg
(4655 lb). The contractor you engage to install the stabilizers will determine the
length of the anchors.
