Installing Cage Nuts, Square-Hole Rack
Use the following task to install twelve, M6x1.00 square-hole cage nuts into a 9.5 mm unthreaded square-hole
rack. Spring nuts are not supplied by Cisco. They should have accompanied your equipment rack.
Before you begin
This document provides illustrations of installation templates for the front and rear of the chassis. The templates
are designed to show you the proper holes within which the rails and cage nuts should be placed. Once you
align the rack holes line up with the template, you should mark the holes on the rack so that they are easy to
use.
To use the rack installation templates, go to the appropriate topic:
• Front Install Template, on page 13
• Rear Install Template, on page 13
Step 1 Gather the M6 cage nuts and a flat head screwdriver.
Step 2 Locate the template and refer to the chassis location in the rack and the cage nut locations on the template.
Step 3 Position one of the curled sides of the cage nut on the inside of the square cutout in the rack.
Step 4 Press the cage nut into the cutout and use the screwdriver to pinch the other curled edge inward until the cage nut clicks
into place in the rack.
Cage nuts install on the inside of the rack so that most of the nut is behind the rack's sheet metal.
