Installation into a Rack without Threaded Screw Holes
"
Procedure
To install the chassis in a rack that does not have threaded screw holes:
1. Determine the preferred placement of the chassis in the rack. The chassis is
19.25 inches high and the keyhole slots are located 3.25 inches from the
bottom of the chassis (for a 19-inch rack).
NOTE:
It is the recommended procedure to install the chassis starting at the
bottom of the rack.
2. Slip a speed nut onto each rail hole selected and align the hole of the speed
nut with the hole in the rail.

3. Line up the chassis mounting bracket with the speed nut and start to rotate
the speed-nut screw into the chassis mounting bracket and the speed nut.
Start all four screws, then tighten all four until each screw head is flush with
the chassis and is securely mounted in the rack.
