Repeat the same procedure for the remaining rack rails.
Installing Rack Mount Brackets
Align the bottom of the Rack Mount Bracket with the mark on front rail of the rack and secure loosely with (2) #10-32X5/8" Cup Head screws at the top-most and at the bottom-most racking slots Repeat the same procedure for rear Rack Mount Bracket and the opposite side.
The Rack Rail Guides are universal and can be installed either on the left or on the right side of the rack.

- Push the Chassis fully into the Rack Rail Guides until the Chassis Rack Ears are in full contact with the front surface of the Rack Rail Guides.
- Secure the chassis with (4) #10-32 X5/8" Cup Head screws at the top-most and at the bottom-most racking slots in the Chassis Rack Ear.
