I usually use tapcon screws (hex head) with an appropriate washer (if needed). If you go this route, I recommend blowing out the holes with compressed air before installing the screws. The tapping action of the screws tends to build up debris in the holes, and the screws can bottom out before they go in all the way. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

You would have more options if you've opted to use less permanent way of immobilizing the racks. -- Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD http://www.cabling-design.com Cabling Forum, color codes, pinouts and other useful resources for premises cabling users and pros http://www.cabling-design.com/homecabling Residential Cabling Guide ------------------------------------- ##-----------------------------------------------## Article posted with Cabling-Design.com Newsgroup Archive http://www.cabling-design.com/forums no-spam read and post WWW interface to your favorite newsgroup - comp.dcom.cabling - 1468 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## | ||||||||||||||||||||||
