Installing the Rubber Feet and Cable Management Bar
If you are installing the Matrix E7 chassis as a freestanding device, start with
Section 3.2.2.1
to
install the rubber feet. To install the chassis in a rack, rubber feet are not needed. Therefore, start
with
Section 3.2.2.2
to install the cable management bar.
CAUTION: Using longer screws than the ones packaged with the cable management
bar may cause damage to the chassis.
NOTE: Before installing the rubber feet and cable management bar, place the chassis
on its back on a sturdy flat surface to have access to the bottom of the chassis.
