How to Rack Mount the EC9535

and rack, be sure to locate the rack near an accessible AC source power outlet. The AC source
is used to power the frame.
2 Lift the frame into position and attach it to the front of the rack with the appropriate screws.
Be sure to place screws in all frame mounting screw holes.
