2. Insert equipment into the rack using the previously installed railkits/
mounting hardware.
3. Secure the equipment to the rack with screws that secure to the cage
nuts as determined in Step 3.
4. When the rack is in its final destination, keep the bar bolted to the rack
for maintenance and safety purposes.
5. Identify the correct power source (220V) which the equipment will be
connected to, and then connect to power.
6. Install the blanking panels.
7. Reattach the side panels and rear door (if they have been removed).
Installing cage nuts
When installing rail kits or securing equipment to the rack, insert the cage
nuts into the square holes. Then insert cage screws to secure the rail kits and
equipment to the rack.
To install cage nuts, insert one curved edge into the square hole, and use the
cage nut tool to pull the other end through the square hole as shown here.
Installing and uninstalling the anti-tip stabilizing plates
Install anti-tip stabilizing plates to provide further stability to the rack. This
extra stability is especially important when installing equipment into the rack
or when removing equipment from it.
Figure C-19 Installing and Uninstalling
the Anti-Tip Stabilizing Plate on page C-35 shows the installation of the anti-
tip stabilizing plate. Reverse these actions for uninstalling the anti-tip
stabilizing plate.
