9. Mark the floor around the edges of both mounting plates.
10. Mark the plate bolt-down holes.
11. Remove the rack-mounting bolt assemblies.
12. Remove the mounting plates from the marked locations.
13. Move the rack so that it is clear of both areas that were marked on the floor for the mounting plate
locations
14. Reposition the mounting plates within the marked areas.
15. Mark the floor at the center of all holes in both mounting plates, including the threaded holes.
16. Remove the two rack-mounting plates from the marked areas.
17. At the marked location of the threaded rack-mounting bolt holes, drill four clearance holes into the
concrete floor. Each clearance hole should be approximately 1-inch deep. This depth allows the rack-
mounting bolts enough room to protrude past the thickness of the mounting plates.
Note: If the hole locations selected at the rear of the rack are not accessible riggers will be required
to install bolts in the non-accessible hole locations as the rack will have to be lifted to install them.
18. Drill holes into the concrete floor at the hole locations (A), for each mounting plate bolt.
Note: The quantity, location, size and/or type of anchor bolts and concrete anchors must be
determined by the Professional Engineer and/or the mechanical contractor doing the rack mounting
plate installation.
