2.4.3. Installing the Cage Nuts
The RTX Blade Server is secured to the rack using four captive screws - one at each
corner of the front of the unit.
‣ If your rack has round holes with 10-32 threads, then the screws will attached
directly to the rack mounting holes.
‣
If your rack has square holes, then you need to install the included cage nuts to
provide attachment points for mounting the RTX Blade Server to the front of the
rack.
The number of cage nuts to install depends on the type of rack that is used. On most
racks, cage nuts are needed only for the top screws. The bottom screws will attach to the
threads in the rails. The image on the left side of the following diagram shows this type.
Green arrows indicate the general area for the cage nuts.
The image on the right side shows a rack with square posts such that the rail does
not meet the front-most part of the rack, In this rack, cage nuts need to be installed at
the bottom holes as well, as indicated by the green arrows. All four cage nuts are also
needed if you have installed a rack shelf instead of rack rails.
Use the provided template to determine the exact location for installing the cage nuts.
