Measuring the Distance between Mounting Rails
To measure the distance between the rack’s mounting rails:
1.
Place the 4036E chassis on a flat surface.
2.
With the use of 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 3.

Assembling and Mounting the Rail
6.6.1
Rail Kit
Mellanox supplies the fixed rail as part of the rail kit and accommodates different rack depths.
The rail mounting has holes that are spaced two inches apart. You can mount them in several
positions along the side of the chassis to accommodate the depth of the rack.
The following table shows the list of items required for the installation of the fixed rail.
Note:
Item sizes are not proportional
