Rack Mounting Dimensions, Front View
Tip
If a component requires more than two screws to install it in the rack or cabinet, install the two bottom
screws first.
Tip
Do not tighten the screws completely (maybe half of a turn) until all components are mounted to the rack.
Otherwise, the tolerances in the screw mounting holes can go against you and make it impossible to put
the screws in a piece of equipment you install later. Once all the rack mounted components are in, tighten
all of the screws.
Caution
Make sure that mounting the equipment does not create a hazardous condition due to uneven
mechanical loading. The equipment rack should be securely supported.
