Step 1
Locate the two rack rail brackets that came in your ship kit.
■ Attach the medium-sized adjustable rack bracket to the longer fixed rack bracket as
shown.
■ Insert the tab on the rear of the medium adjustable rack bracket through the larger
round opening on the back end of the long fixed rack bracket and slide the long
bracket forward to keep the two brackets from coming apart. These rail brackets slide
to accommodate different rack depths.
Step 2
■ Insert a cage nut into each of the square holes in the rack you will be using as shown
(three in the front and two in the rear). They click into place.
■ Attach the rack /rail assemblies to the rack using two M5 x 12 flat head screws* and
cone washers in the front and back. The convex side of the cone washers face toward
the rack.
■ Make sure the rack / rail assemblies and screws are aligned in the rack not only in the
front and back, but are level in height on the left and right sides for proper alignment for
appliance installation.
NOTE: The following installation procedures for 6A, 4-post rack are for use with the rails and hardware
provided in your ship kit. If different style rails are being used, or if your rack requires different hardware,
refer to the instructions provided with your rail’s or rack’s ship kit.
Step 1
Locate the two long and six short rack brackets that came in your ship kit.
■ Securely attach the set of short brackets with the threaded screw holes to the long
bracket in the front as shown. Use two M4 truss head screws* for each bracket.
■ Loosely attach one set of the other short brackets to the long fixed bracket as shown
using one M4 truss head screw on each bracket. The three holes on the flap will face
toward the back for later attachment to the 2-post rack.
■ Loosely attach the remaining set of short brackets to the long fixed bracket as shown
using one M4 truss head screw on each bracket. The three holes on the flap will face
toward the front for later attachment to the 2-post rack.
■ Once the rails are attached to the rack, securely tighten all the screws installed in steps
B and C.
Step 2
Attach the assembled brackets to the 2-post rack.
■ Insert two M5 x 12 flat head screws* through the short brackets into the 2-post rack (in the
front and back of the rack as shown) and tighten. Make sure the brackets are aligned and
level in height, not only in the front and back but also on the left and right sides.
■ Tighten each of the single screws on the small fixed brackets (located on either side of the
rack) to secure the brackets in the rack and ensure appliance stability.
*NOTE: Refer to your rack’s
mounting hardware for the
proper size and type of screws to
secure the appliance in the rack.
Step 3
■ Align the fixed chassis rails on the appliance with the fixed rack rail brackets installed in the rack.
■ Carefully slide the appliance into the rack until you hear the locking tabs on each side of the fixed front rails click
into place.
■ Push the appliance all the way back into the rack until it stops. Secure
the unit in the rack using a 10-32 x 3/4" truss head screw* in
the center hole on each rail.
