Rack systems, components and methods

Abstract

A seismic base for an equipment rack includes a base plate, a first side wall attached to the base plate, a second side wall attached to the base plate, the second side wall being positioned behind the first side wall in a longitudinal direction, an anti-tip support bar extending between the first and second side walls in the longitudinal direction, and a support beam extending in a lateral direction, between the anti-tip support bar and a first lateral wall of the first and second side walls, respectively. The seismic base resists translatory and/or pivoting movements (e.g., of the equipment rack to which the seismic base is attached) in or about, respectively, the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction.
