Both components of the DX-Series system are designed to fit in a standard 19
inch wide rack.
It is important to the chassis installation to locate the hole pattern in the rack
rails (see
figure 7
). The chassis must be installed at the beginning of the hole
pattern. Refer to
table 2
for information on common rack hole types.

Description
Square rack holes are the most common type of rack
holes. They can accept either cage nuts which mount
from the back of the rail or clip nuts which clip on from
the side of the rack rail.
Through holes require clip nuts to accept mounting
hardware.
Threaded holes require neither cage or clip nuts to
accept mounting hardware.
