Installing the Chassis in the Rack

If the rear of the chassis will be in the front of the rack, insert the front of the
chassis between the mounting posts, and align the four mounting holes in the
L bracket with the four mounting holes in the equipment rack.

Step 3

A third person should install the ten-32 x 3/4 inch slotted binder-head mounting
screws through the elongated holes in the L bracket and into the threaded holes in
the mounting post.

Step 4

Use your tape measure and level to ensure that the chassis is installed straight and
level.

Step 5

Make sure that your path to the rack is unobstructed.
