Installing the Rack-mount Shelves
Required parts: Rack-mount shelves, (8) ferrules, (8) thumbnuts
1 If the rack-mount shelves are extended, collapse them to their smallest size. It is easier to fit and position the shelves
within the rack when the shelves are compact.
Note: Extending the shelves can be difficult, but they are designed to be resized by hand. Do not use tools to
resize the shelves, and never take them apart.
2 Place a ferrule on the end of each stud, and screw it on completely. The larger side of the ferrule should face the rack
shelf, and the tapered end should face out. Be sure to use the proper size ferrule as described in
Preparing for
Installation.
1 Stud
2 Ferrule
3 Install the rack-mount shelves into the rack so that they are level with one another.
a Install the shelf's rear studs in the rack's rear mounting holes.
b Position the shelf to the appropriate side of the rack (right or left) and align the shelf at the desired height.
c Insert the shelf's rear studs into the rack's rear mounting holes.
d Fasten a thumbnut to the end of each stud. Secure the rack tightly, so that the ferrule fits snugly within the hole
in the rack.
e Next, install the shelf's front studs in the rack's front mounting holes.
