Equipment installation
The rack is now assembled and ready for equipment installation.
1. Do not install any equipment until you have stabilized the
structure.
2. Always load the heavier items at the bottom first, followed by the
lighter equipment at the top of the rack, for safety reasons.
3. On the already installed vertical rails, count up the square holes
and insert an M8 cage nut in each square hole, with the tabs facing
inward.
4. Repeat this procedure until all M8 cage nuts are installed in the
square holes of the front and back rails.
5. Align the equipment or component that will be mounted on the
square location where the cage nut has been inserted.
6. Proceed to insert the M8 phillips-head screws and plastic flange
washers from the inside through the vertical mounting rails and into
the nuts you installed in the previous step.
7. Tighten the screws to secure the equipment to the vertical rails.
