Measuring the Distance between Mounting Rails
To measure the distance between the rack mounting rails:
1.
Place the 4036/2036 chassis on a flat surface.
2.
Using a measuring tape, measure the front-to-back distance between the rack vertical
mounting rails. This step is very important so that you know exactly how to calculate the
exact rail length.
3.
Mark the rack's U levels at which you would like to mount the switch. This is important so
that you can install the clip nuts in the adequate holes and ensure that the chassis is leveled.
4.
Using a flat screwdriver, install the clip nuts in the rack at the U level noted in Step 3.

Assembling and Mounting the Rail
6.5.1
Rail Kit
The fixed rail is supplied as part of the rail kit and accommodates different rack depths.
The rail mounting has holes spaced 2 inches apart and can be mounted in several positions
along the side of the chassis to accommodate the depth of the rack.
Installation
Option 1
(on page
35
) and
Option 2
(on page
42
) require a rail kit.
Installation option 3 (see
Appendix A
(on page
59
)) requires a mounting kit for the
iDataplex rack.
The following table shows the list of items required for the installation of the fixed rail. Note
that this only applies to Option 1 and 2. Option 3 (see Appendix A) entails different parts.
