Step 2: Install the Mounting Hardware in a Four-Post Rack or Cabinet or an Open-Frame
Rack
To install the mounting shelf on the front rails of a four-post rack or cabinet, or the rails
of an open-frame rack:
1. If needed, install cage nuts in the holes specified in Table 1 on page 6.
2. On the back of each rack rail, partially insert a mounting screw into the lowest hole
specified in Table 1 on page 6.
3. Install the mounting shelf on the back of the rack rails. Rest the bottom slot of each
flange on a mounting screw.
4. Partially insert screws into the open holes in each flange of the mounting shelf (see
Figure 2 on page 7 or Figure 3 on page 8).
5. Tighten all the screws completely.
