Use the second hole up from the bottom of the rack mount bracket and the second hole down from the top of
the rack mount bracket. This makes it easier to attach the cable management bracket to the chassis in the
equipment rack.
Note
Step 3
Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails while the second person finger-tightens a screw to the rack rails
on each side of the chassis.
Step 4
Tighten all the screws on each side to secure the chassis to the equipment rack (see the following image).

Step 5
Use a level to verify that the tops of the two brackets are level, or use a measuring tape to verify that both the brackets
are the same distance from the top of the rack rails.
What to do next
This completes the procedure for installing the chassis in the rack. Proceed to the
Management Bracket, on page 24
for information about how to continue with the installation.
Attaching the Cable Management Bracket
The cable management brackets are mounted to each rack mount bracket on the chassis to provide cable
management to both sides of the chassis (parallel with card orientation). These brackets are screw-mounted
to the rack mount brackets to allow easy installation and removal of cables.
