The rack-mount kit comes with the following items: Two long main left and right rails Two medium left and right rear rails ... - Page 46 2. Assemble the rails that will accommodate the array in the rack. The long main left and right rails are used in all installations (these rails have a bottom piece on which the array sits in the rack). However, you must determine whether to use the two medium rear rails or the two short rear rails based on the depth of your rack.
- Page 47 If the rack has round and threaded holes, secure the rails using the supplied long screws only (there is no need to use the snap-in spring-loaded cage nuts and the E-shaped devices). 7. Secure the rails to the rack by inserting screws in the top and bottom holes on the left and right sides on the front of the rack (as shown in the following figure).
- Page 48 11. Locate the second-from-the-bottom hole on the front right side of the rack. This hole should be aligned with a hole in the flange or “ear” on the right front of the array. Place a screw in the hole in the array, then insert a screwdriver through the hole in the front flange of the array and tighten the screw to secure the array to the vertical supports, as shown in the following figure.
