Securing Kit Overview
Installation overview
Some customers require that their EMC equipment be installed to withstand significant
shock and vibration. Installation of Securing Kits, in combination with adequate
substrate construction, can mitigate collateral damage during such events.
The Securing Kits contain heavy floor and top brackets for the system bays. The floor
brackets are attached to the floor using bolts that engage the flooring substructure within
the computer room or data center. The top brackets secure the tops of adjacent bays.
Securing Kits can be installed on system bays without lifting the bays.

Types of brackets
VMAX system bays are secured with two types of brackets:
l
Floor brackets — Secure the outermost parameters of the array configuration to the
floor.
The following image shows the floor securing brackets. If the configuration includes
only one bay, floor brackets secure the front, back, right and left of the bay.
If the configuration includes additional bays, front and rear brackets are installed on
each system bay, and right and left brackets are installed on the right and left of the
outermost bays.
l
Top brackets — Secure the tops of adjacent bays to each other. Figure 2 on page 13
shows top securing brackets.

Installing Securing Kits involves:
l
Understanding the system layout and the position of the floor and top brackets that
secure the system.
l
Positioning brackets and drilling holes in the computer room floor to accommodate
bracket securing bolts.
l
Securing the system bays.

Securing Kit Overview
Laying out the securing brackets
To layout the securing brackets on raised or unraised floors, you must understand the
layout and dimensions of the system bays.
System bays are the same size. System bays are secured to the floor with floor brackets,
and along the top with T brackets.
Floor brackets are attached directly to raised or non raised floors.
Dimensions and layout
On arrays with system bay 1 only, the system bay is secured to the floor with a front, rear,
right and left bracket.
On systems with multiple, adjacent bays, bays are secured with:
14
l
A front and rear bracket on each bay
l
A right and left bracket on the outermost bays
l
An upper T bracket between bays (secures the top)

Securing Kit Overview
Hole drilling requirements
Installing floor brackets requires the drilling of holes that affix the floor brackets directly
to a raised or non raised floor.
When drilling holes:
l
Remove system bay doors for easier access.
l
To maximize pullout force and transverse stability, EMC recommends securing all
brackets, and all holes within each bracket.
l
Make sure the floor can be drilled without compromising its strength.
It may be necessary to reinforce the floor. Contact the flooring contractor/supplier or
building engineer to determine the best way to proceed.
l
Raised floors do not offer significant resistive strength. On a raised floor, the anchor
bolts should go through the raised floor and be tied using cables and turnbuckles, or
fastened directly with high strength threaded fasteners into the subfloor or super
structure on the subfloor.
Note
One method to locate the holes accurately is to mount the anchor brackets loosely to the
system bays, using the instructions in the following sections. Mark the hole locations in
pencil, and then remove the brackets and drill the holes.
l
Drilled holes should be of 1/2-inch diameter (1.27cm) or larger.
If you are mounting the system bays on a nonraised floor, the diameter of the holes
must be large enough to take 1/2-inch threaded inserts. Install the inserts in the
manner recommended by the manufacturer. EMC recommends a proprietary
fastening system, such as HILTI, for use on nonraised floors.
For a raised-floor installation, drill the holes 5/8-inch (1.59cm) diameter. This size
allows for any tolerance buildup in the hole pattern.

5. At the front of the adjacent bay, loosely attach a front/rear bracket to the bay frame
using three 3/8 ID flat washers and three 3/8-16X1.5L hex cap screws.
6. Repeat step 1 through step 4 to secure additional bays.
7. When all front and rear brackets are installed, attach a left/right bracket to each side
of the outer bays using three 3/8 ID flat washers and three 3/8-16X1.5L hex cap
screws, as shown in the previous image.
8. Align one T-bracket with the installation holes at the top of each two bays to be
connected, as shown in the following image.

Securing the bay to the floor
This section provides guidelines to fasten the system bays with brackets, previously
installed on the bays, to the floor.
Nonraised floor
To fasten a bay to a nonraised floor, the following guidelines are provided:
Procedure
1. Make sure the holes on the brackets line up with the inserts you installed in the floor.
2. Fasten the brackets with 1/2-inch diameter grade 8 bolts to the inserts you installed
in the floor.
3. Repeat step 1 and step 2 for all bays.
4. Reinstall all bay doors.
Raised floor
To fasten the bays to a raised floor, the following guidelines are provided:
Procedure
1. Make sure the holes on the brackets line up with the holes you drilled in the floor.
2. Fasten the brackets to the floor using 1/2-inch diameter grade 8 bolts, to a substrate
or reinforcing member beneath the floor.
3. Repeat steps 1 and step 2 for all bays.
4. Reinstall all bay doors.
