STEP 1
Determine the hole locations.
The spacers fit into the larger, rectangular holes, in the
insides of the columns, as shown in Step 3. When
properly installed, the three holes in the spacer align
with the three round holes next to the rectangular
hole. Determine which rectangular mounting hole cor-
responds to the EIA unit where you want to install the
spacer. (Each EIA unit is numbered on the columns of
the grey column rack.)
STEP 2
Install Sheet Metal Nuts.
Place sheet metal nuts over the top hole of the target
EIA unit on columns. Place the nuts with the protru-
sion away from the spacer.
STEP 3
Position the Spacers.
Position all required spacers. There must be a sheet
metal nut on the columns behind each top hole of each
spacer, which is the top hole of the EIA unit. The
three holes go towards the inside of the rack - the
hook points down.

Procedures
STEP 4
Position the rails.
An example of mounting four spacers onto rails and
columns is shown below. Position the rails front to
back between the spacers. The blocks have cut-outs
for inserting the rail tabs.
STEP 5
Attach all.
Bolt the rail to the column through the spacer. The
Sheet Metal Nut should be behind the bolt for each
spacer.
