The rack’s side rails are tapped on both sides with 12-24 threads for quick
installation. An EIA universal 5⁄8"-5⁄8"-1⁄2" vertical mounting hole pattern
matches industry standards and connects to most racks for easy system
expansion. It’s packed unassembled and includes 2 rails, 2 bases, 2 top
angles, 20 12-24 mounting screws, 12 hex bolts, and this users’ manual.
