1. Starting at the bottom of the rack, or at the top of a previously mounted
component, measure the screw hole locations for the server's mounting
bracket assemblies. Pencil mark the locations on the outside of the rack.
Do this on both the front and the back of the rack.
IMPORTANT:
The template is two-sided (front and back) and printed with arrows
that show you where the screws will be inserted, both for the mounting bracket
assemblies and for the thumb screws that will secure the server's face plate to the
front of the rack.
Align the template carefully with the holes on the rack, to determine the exact
placement of the screws.
2. When you mark the positioning of the mounting bracket screws, also
mark the positioning in the front of the rack for the cage nuts. These are
two slots marked "C" on the template. The cage nuts will hold the thumb
screws through the server's face plate, as shown in the following figure.
Be sure to follow the alignment instructions on the template, and keep the sides
of the template squared up with the sides of the rack. Tick marks on the rack’s
vertical rails will help you maintain the proper alignment.
