Mounting (Rack)
Mount your equipment in either a 2-post or 4-post rack or rack enclosure. The user must
determine the fitness of hardware and procedures before mounting. If hardware and procedures
are not suitable for your application, contact the manufacturer of your rack or rack enclosure. The
procedures described in this manual are for common rack and rack enclosure types and may not
be appropriate for all applications.
Note: The illustrations may differ from your model.
4-Post Mounting
1
The included plastic pegs
support the empty rackmount shelves
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
permanently using the included screws and
cup washers
as shown. Place the cup
C
washer between the screw and the rack so
that the screw enters the wider opening of
the cup washer first.
Place 4 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.
Attach your equipment's mounting brackets
3
to the forward mounting holes of the
cabinet using the hardware included with
your equipment. The mounting bracket
"ears" should face forward. (Some
equipment may have
pre-installed or integral mounting brackets.)
4
With the aid of an assistant (if necessary),
lift your equipment and slide it into the
shelves. Attach the equipment mounting
brackets to the forward mounting rails with
user-supplied screws and washers
Tighten all screws securely.
