Chassis mounting brackets.2
Use two persons to push the chassis onto the bottom-support rails. Push the lower half of the front side of the chassis
so that the back side enters the rack first, and push until the chassis is halfway onto the rack. See the following image.
Ensure that the chassis does not get caught on any of the expansion edges of the bottom-support rail.
