Mounting a Single Node
Mounting the NCS 2002 shelf on a rack requires a minimum of 3.5 inches (88.9 mm) of vertical rack space.
To ensure that the mounting is secure, use two to three #12-24 mounting screws for each side of the shelf.
For an ANSI rack, the brackets can be mounted in the front or middle position. The shelf should be empty
for easier lifting.
The NCS 2002 shelves can be mounted above each other without any space between the shelves. This method

The NCS 2002 shelf is mounted on a 600 x 600-mm (23.6 x 23.6-inch) or 600 x 300-mm (23.6 x 11.8-inch)
