Earthquake resistance kit installation preparation
Before an IBM service representative can install the earthquake resistance kit on
any frames in your storage system, you must purchase fastening hardware and
prepare the location where the kit is to be installed.
The required tasks that you must perform before the earthquake resistance kit
installation depends on whether your storage system sits on a raised or a
nonraised floor. For either type of installation, work with a consultant or structural
engineer to ensure that your site preparations meet the requirements.
The following list provides an overview of the preparations necessary for each
type of floor:
