Equipment Installation

WARNING: Do not install equipment until you have stabilized the enclosure. Install heavier equipment first and install it toward the

bottom of the enclosure. Install equipment starting from the bottom of the enclosure and proceeding toward the top of the

enclosure - never the reverse. If using sliding equipment rails, be careful when extending the rails. Do not extend more than one

set of sliding equipment rails at one time. Avoid extending sliding equipment rails near the top of the enclosure.

Note: The square holes at the middle of each rack unit are numbered and also include a small notch to aid identification. A single rack unit includes

the space occupied by the numbered hole and the holes directly above and below.

Installing or Removing Cage Nuts

WARNING: The flanges of the cage nuts should engage the sides of the square opening in the rail, not the top and bottom. Follow

the instructions in your equipment documentation to ensure proper installation of your equipment.
