lowest position of the rack for stability. The bottom mark
should be at the lowest narrow gap in that position.
Note: The library requires 6U (10.5 in.) of rack space.
Each EIA unit (1U)
starts at a narrow
gap and has three
holes and two wide
gaps above it

From the front of the rack, insert the
rack rails
into the back
and then front vertical supports.
a) Position a rail according to the

racks with round holes to insure proper unit alignment, one
kit per module is required.
