Figure C-3
Installing the Shelf Bracket Kit into a Rack
To install the shelf brackets in a cabinet or rack, follow these steps:
Step 1
Position a shelf bracket inside the rack-mounting rails as shown in
Figure C-3
. Align the screw holes at
the front of the shelf bracket with the holes in the front rack-mounting rail, and then attach the shelf
bracket to the front rack-mounting rail using a minimum of four 1/4-20 screws.
Note
The bottom hole of the shelf bracket should align with the bottom hole of a rack unit on the
rack-mounting rail (the hole immediately above the 1/2-inch spacing).
Step 2
Align the screw holes at the back of the shelf bracket with the holes in the back rack-mounting rail, and
then attach the shelf bracket to the back rack-mounting rail using a minimum of four 1/4-20 screws.
Step 3
Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 with the other shelf bracket.
Step 4
Verify that the shelf brackets are at the same height (using the level or tape measure as desired).
