Rack post
Flange
Shielded side
Note
The distance between the inner edges of the
left and right rack-mounting posts must be at least
17.72 inches (45.088 cm), and the distance between
the holes in the mounting posts must be 18.31 inches
(46.5 cm) (+ .063 inches or .16 cm).
Step 1
Place the bracket on the inner side of the
rack post, with the flanged front edge of
the bracket in front of the rack post.
Step 2
Align the mounting holes in the bracket
with those in the rack post.
Step 3
Support the bracket with one hand, and
use the other hand to insert a 10-32 x
5/8-inch LG Phillips pan-head screw
through the bottom mounting hole on the
front of the bracket and into the rack post.
Step 4
Secure the top of the bracket to the rack
with two pan-head screws. Finger-tighten
the screws.
Step 5
Push the brackets as far apart as possible
before using a Number 2 Phillips
screwdriver to tighten the screws.
Step 6
Adjust the brackets if the distance
between them is less than 17.5 inches
(45.45 cm).
Step 7
Repeat Step 3 through Step 6 for the
remaining bracket. Use a level or tape
measure to ensure that the two brackets
are level in the rack.
