A two-post mounting rack includes a frame bottom, a frame top, a pair of frame uprights interconnected between the frame bottom and the frame top, and a base assembly for supporting the frame bottom on a surface. One or more of the frame bottom, the frame top, the pair of frame uprights, and the base assembly are seismically hardened. Each frame upright has a closed cross-sectional shape. Each frame upright includes a flange with apertures adapted to provide a mounting location for cable management projections. The base assembly includes two separate end gusset members. Each end gusset member includes two corner gussets. Each corner gusset includes a floor plate and a riser plate. The two corner gussets in each end gusset member are connected by a bridge member. The frame top includes an upper cross-member and two lateral reinforcement plates.

1. A seismically hardened two-post mounting rack comprising: (a) a frame bottom;(b) a frame top;(c) a pair of frame uprights interconnected between the frame bottom and the frame top, each frame upright being formed from an inner channel member mounted to an outer channel member, which, together, define a closed cross-sectional shape, wherein: (i) each of the inner and outer channel member has a generally U-shaped cross section;(ii) the inner channel member has wings extending outwardly at either side of the U-shape of the inner channel member at an angle that is generally perpendicular to opposing sides of the U-shape; and(iii) the wings are mounted to an interior base of the U-shape of the outer channel member to define the closed cross-sectional shape;(iv) wherein the inner channel member is affixed to the outer channel member along substantially the entire vertical extent thereof, including at least a bottommost portion of the outer channel member; and(d) a base assembly, for supporting the frame bottom on a surface, including two separate end gusset members, each of which includes at least one vertically-oriented riser plate that is attached to at least one of the inner channel member and the outer channel member of a respective one of the frame uprights at a location, along a respective one of the frame uprights, where the wings of the inner channel member are mounted to the interior base of the U-shape of the outer channel member to define the closed cross-sectional shape, thereby imparting additional strength to the connections between the frame bottom and the frame uprights. 2.

The seismically hardened two-post mounting rack of claim 2, wherein the floor plate and the anchor plate each have a slot therein that are aligned with one another. 4. The seismically hardened two-post mounting rack of claim 1, wherein the end gusset members each include a bridge member. 5. The seismically hardened two-post mounting rack of claim 1, wherein the closed cross-sectional shape is fabricated by welding together the inner channel member and the outer channel member. 6. The seismically hardened two-post mounting rack of claim 1, further comprising a power outlet attached to the frame bottom. 7. The seismically hardened two-post mounting rack of claim 1, further comprising a power strip attached to at least one of the frame uprights. 8. The seismically hardened two-post mounting rack of claim 1, further comprising a cable raceway attached to the frame top. 9. The seismically hardened two-post mounting rack of claim 1, further comprising a flange member attached to and extending along an edge of at least one of the pair of frame uprights. 10. The seismically hardened two-post mounting rack of claim 9, further comprising a cable guide, mounted to the flange member, and including a plurality of cable management projections extending away from the corresponding frame upright within a space defined by the distance between the pair of frame uprights. 11. The seismically hardened two-post mounting rack of claim 10, wherein each cable management projection includes a base, a shaft and a crosspiece. 12. The seismically hardened two-post mounting rack of claim 11, wherein adjacent cable management projections define a cable ring formed by the respective bases, shafts and crosspieces.
