1. Starting at the bottom of the rack, or at the top of a previously mounted
component, measure the screw hole locations for the server’s mounting
bracket assemblies.
2. Use a pencil to mark the screw hole locations on the outside of the rack.
Do this on both the front and the back of the rack.
IMPORTANT: The template is two-sided (front and back) and printed with arrows that
show you where the screws will be inserted, both for the mounting bracket assemblies
and for the thumbscrews that will secure the server’s faceplate to the front of the rack.
Align the template carefully with the holes on the rack to determine the exact placement
of the screws.
3. When you mark the positioning of the mounting bracket screws, also
mark the positioning in the front of the rack for the cage nuts. These are
the two slots marked “C” on the template. The cage nuts will hold the
thumbscrews through the server’s faceplate.
Be sure to follow the alignment instructions on the template and keep
the sides of the template squared up with the sides of the rack. Placing
marks on the rack’s vertical rails will help you maintain the proper
alignment.

4. After marking the front of the rack, open the rear door of the rack, flip
the template over, and mark the back rails of the rack.
5. On the back of the rack, mark the rail to show the top of the template.
This will help you align the template for the next component.
