The leveling feet at the corners of the equipment provide a stable base if the door is uneven, but they cannot
compensate for a badly sloped surface. Ensure the cabinet is in its intended location. Remove the front and
rear doors.

interfere with the removal of the doors.
NOTE:
• Use an 18 mm open-end wrench to lower each leveler A until it reaches the
oor. (There are 4 levelers, 2 at the front and 2 at the rear.) Make sure each
leveler contacts the oor solidly.
• Adjust each foot and, using a level, adjust the feet until the cabinet is level
and plumb. Do not install the doors until after the cabinet is joined to others
in the row.
Level the Rack Cabinet
Note: Lower a leveler by turning it clockwise; raise a leveler by turning it
counter-clockwise.
