Seismic events continue to draw attention on a global scale, acting as a catalyst for ever-increasing building codes and certifications. Preparing for the next seismic event is especially important for data centers that cannot afford to be offline or are not backed up at a secondary location. To reduce risk and minimize equipment damage, seismic protection is necessary.
Chatsworth Products offers a variety of products to help protect critical equipment from damage during a seismic event. The Z4-Series Seismic Frame® Cabinet improves on CPI’s original Seismic Frame Cabinet, which was introduced in 2001. The Z4-Series SeismicFrame Cabinet delivers a higher load rating, an increased range of cabinet sizes to support deeper equipment and more unobstructed interior space along the sides for thermal and cable management accessories.
Additionally, a variety of bracing kits are available for both cabinets and racks.
