Thank Bill. I know all they're going to mount to this is standard network switches/hubs. So weight won't be an issue. And at this point the location of the rack (in my mind) won't lend itself to being mounted to the wall either. However, mounting to the floor is a must.
If he can do it let me know and again, I'll pass the info along to the customer with name/phone number. Thanks!

I am sure he could secure the racks to the floor also.

Thanks

Unfortunately they aren't that experienced - they usually rely on us to do everything for them.
They'd be willing to pay for the work to be done - anyone interested?? They don't have the network rack yet - this would be scheduled likely for some time in May.

They could just rent a hammer drill and get some proper-sized concrete
anchors and do it themselves.

If they are going to be mounting anything *remotely* heavy in the
rack, I would strongly suggest they secure the top of the rack too.
Best way is with a beam between the top of the rack and the wall
behind the rack.
