  • Page 19: Concrete Floor Mounting

    Two anchors may be used when the rack is supported from overhead. In earthquake zones, always use four floor anchors. CommScope anchors include a breakaway cap that separates when the proper torque is reached. When mounted according to these instructions using the specified mounting hardware, the IFDH 3000 meets the requirements for earthquake zone 4.
  • Page 20 5. Insert an anchor into each one of the mounting holes as shown in Figure 10. Using a hammer, tap each anchor into the hole until the top of the anchor is even with the floor. Page 14 © 2015 CommScope. All Rights Reserved.

  • Page 23: Raised Floor Mounting

    The threaded rods provided with the CommScope kit are 30 inches long. Because of the complexity of mounting the IFDH 3000 frame on a raised floor, there are two sections that cover the mounting procedure.
