Re: Seismic Ratings of IBM Racks

I was finally able to find some info via IBM PartnerLine. So for the records
While IBM has not published anything, I was provided the following
information.

IBM has performed 'some' testing on these racks. A 7014 rack with the
ruggedized option meets IBM's Level 2 rating. This is not the same Zone 2,
but appears to be higher that Zone 2 but still lower than a Zone 4.

Well 7 of them survived fully loaded in a Budget truck from Chicago to
Grand Rapids and the Michigan Roads part I would put at a 8.5 on the
Richter scale.

Not sure if that's a 'spec rating' but it's real world!

Anyone have a reference as to what specs are for a 0551 or 7014 rack in
regards to Seismic Ratings?
