c. Installing an optional arc kit: 

(See Figure 33.)

NOTE: 

Arcs are attached to 

the angle-shaped mounting 
bracket using a thread-
forming screw and an anti-
rotation boss. The bracket 
contains two sets of screw 
and boss holes so that each 
arc can be mounted with the 
arrow-shaped keeper flange 
pointing either up or down.

−

Remove the split arc at 
the top of the applicable 
corner entry/exit. Leave the split arc at the bottom in place, as shown in Figure 33.

−

Use the three thread-forming Phillips head screws (screws with cross-recessed 
heads) to attach the arcs to the angle bracket. Normally, the arrow-shaped keeper 
flange of the top two arcs point down and the bottom one points up. For flange clear-
ance, the middle and bottom arcs must use a different set of screw and boss holes.

−

Use the two Phillips head machine screws along with the flat backing plate to secure 
this arc assembly to the panel.

3. Mount each panel to rack using four, 12-24, thread-forming mounting screws (supplied, two 

per side). See Figure 34. 

4. Torque to 35 in.-lb. (4.29 N•m.).
