Use the included shelves and mounting hardware to mount your rackmount equipment in a 4-post rack or rack enclosure. If you need to
•
install your equipment in a 2-post rack, order Tripp Lite’s 2-Post Rackmount Kit (model: 2POSTRMKITWM).
The instructions in this manual are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not be appropriate for all mounting applications. You
•
must determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. If hardware or procedures are not suitable for your application,
contact the manufacturer of your rack or rack enclosure for a solution.
Rackmount equipment may be extremely heavy—be careful when moving or lifting equipment. Use one or more assistants if necessary.

The included plastic pegs
A
will temporarily support the empty
rackmount shelves
B
while you install the permanent mounting
hardware. Insert a peg near the center of the front and rear
bracket of each shelf as shown. (Each front bracket has 6 holes
and each rear bracket has 3 holes.) The pegs will snap into place.
After installing the pegs, expand each shelf to match the depth of
your rack rails. The pegs will fit through the square holes in the
rack rails to support the shelves. Refer to the rack unit labels to
confirm that the shelves are level in all directions. Note: The
support ledge of each shelf must face inward.

Secure the shelves
B
to the mounting rails permanently using the
included screws and cup washers
C
as shown.
• For 2U equipment mounting, place 4 screws total at the front
and 4 screws total at the back.
• For 3U equipment mounting, place 6 screws total at the front
and 4 screws total at the back.
Tighten all screws before proceeding.
Warning: Do not attempt to install your equipment until you
have inserted and tightened the required screws. The plastic
pegs will not support the weight of your equipment.
