Step 4
With two people, lift the chassis into position between the rack posts.
Step 5
Align the mounting bracket holes with the rack post holes and attach the chassis to the rack.
Step 6
Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
To allow space to attach the cable-management brackets to the chassis in the rack easily, use the
rack-mount bracket ear holes mentioned in Steps 7 and 8.
Tip
Step 7
Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails in the equipment rack and follow these steps:
a) Insert the bottom screw into the second hole up from the bottom of the rack-mount ear and use a hand-held
screwdriver to tighten the screw to the rack rail.
To make installation easier, insert one screw at the bottom of the chassis and the next screw at the
top of the chassis diagonally from the first screw.
Tip
b) Insert the top screw into the second hole from the top of the rack-mount ear diagonally from the bottom
screw and tighten the screw to the rack rail.
c) Insert the rest of the screws to secure the chassis to the rack equipment.
Step 8
Tighten all the screws on each side to secure the chassis to the equipment rack.
