To install the shelf brackets in an EIA rack, follow these steps:
Procedure
1. Position a shelf bracket inside the rack-mounting posts, as shown in Figure 7 on page 13. Align the
screw holes at the front of the shelf bracket with the holes in the front rack-mounting post. Then,
attach the shelf bracket to the front rack-mounting post using a minimum of four 12-24 or 10-24
screws.
Note: The bottom hole of the shelf bracket should align with the bottom hole (the hole immediately
above the 1/2 in. spacing) of a rack unit on the rack-mounting post.
2. Repeat Step 1 with the other shelf brackets.
3. Verify that the shelf brackets are at the same height (using the level or tape measure, as desired).
4. Attach the crossbar to the shelf brackets, as shown in Figure 7 on page 13, using the 10-32 screws.
5. Insert the slider posts into the shelf brackets, as shown in Figure 7 on page 13. Attach them to the rear
rack-mounting posts, using a minimum of four 12-24 or 10-24 screws.
