If you intend to install more than one PowerEdge 2300 system in the rack, you

must install the slide assemblies so that there is 10.5 inches (6U) of vertical

space between the top of one slide assembly and the top of the next (see

Figure 4). In the Dell rack, the rails of the rack are marked by small indentations in

1U (1.75-inch) increments. To install the computer in the rack±s lowest position,

locate the cage nuts 6U (10.5 inches) f rom the bottom of each vertical rail . After

determining where to install the slide assemblies, mark the locations of the cage

nuts on the rack±s vertical rails with a felt-tipped marker or masking tape.
