Hole center to center distance between mounting rails shall be 18.3125 inches and mounting holes shall be sized and spaced in accordance with EIA specification RS-310. b) Be capable of withstanding MIL-S-901D, Grade A, shock testing. In addition, the following requirements must be adhered to: 1) Exterior channels shall be constructed of 14 guage cold rolled steel and have a minimum of six ninety-degree bends for rigidity. Channels shall be open enough to allow for installation of 0.1875 inch thick steel backing plates or angle by the end user. If channels do not allow sufficient access for installation of steel backing plates, welded plates shall be installed during construction to allow shock isolator attachment tothe base of the rack. 2) Vertical mounting rails shall be adjustable horizontally within the enclosure as well as vertically. Design must allow for installation of more than two sets of mounting rails in various configurations. 3) Vertical mounting rails shall be available for ordering in both a threaded and non-threaded hole configuration. 4) Design must allow for the installation of a flush mounting door with locking capability. 5) Design will incorporate flush mounting side panels with louvers.
