I realise the concern for heat but I believe he is specifying a 2-post rack; hopefully it is not too hot behind a 2-post rack to melt a decent zip-tie mount. The mounts I use are made by Panduit and are called the "Super-Grip". They are indoor/outdoor mounts that claim to adhere up to 180 degrees farenhuit. I will say that some textured surfaces do not hold the mounts very well.
In the event that you cannot get a mount to stick, I recommend going with a very simple solution that just dawned on me. You could take 2 fairly long pieces of electrical tape and create an "X" pattern around the power cord and on to the chassis. If this thing allows me to post a picture of the concept, I will upload it. I tested it out in my lab, a few minutes ago, and it held the cable in fairly well. I tried to pull it straight out and it held in place.
