Step 2
Attach the bottom-support rail to the rack or cabinet using a Phillips torque screwdriver on at least three (four if possible)
M6 x 19 mm or 12-24 x 3/4 inch screws for each end of the rail (using a total of 6 to 8 screws for the rail as shown in the
following figure) and tighten each screw to 40 in. lbs (4.5 N.m) of torque.

At least three of the screw holes on each end of the bottom-support rail align to the mounting rail. Use at least
three screws (four if possible) on each end of each bottom support rail.
Note
Step 3
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to attach the other bottom-support rail to the rack.
Make sure that the two bottom-support rails are level with one another. If they are not level, adjust the higher
rail down to the level of the lower rail.
Note
What to do next
When the bottom-support rails are installed at the lowest possible RU and are level, you are ready to install
the chassis in the rack or cabinet.
