I come up with art.392.10. Cable trays shall be permitted to be used as a support for service conductors, feeders, branch circuits, communication circuits control and signal circuits. I don't see boxes as being supported by the tray but I will defer to others.

Oh and please don't use all caps.

What does this mean:For boxes and conduit bodies attached to the bottom or side of a cable tray system, fastening and supporting shall be in accordance with the requirements of 314.23

but 392.6{j} is for industrial facilities.

my installation is in an office buliding for an IT room
Then the permissible part doesn?t apply to you. :D. So, no you can?t attach it per code. This applies to industrial non-commercial>>>unless your jurisdiction says otherwise.

392.6 {j} seems to be the only referance to mounting outlet boxes to a cable tray.

but only in industrial facilities.

so i would say no you cant unless the AHJ tells me other wise.
