To mark the rack, perform the following steps: 1 Using a felt-tip pen or masking tape, place a mark on the rack's front vertical rails where you want the bottom of the system you are installing in the rack to be located. The bottom of each 1-U space is at the middle of the narrowest metal area between holes (marked with a horizontal line on some rack cabinets-see Figure 1-3). 2 Place a second mark 132 mm (5.25 inches) above the first mark you made (or count up nine holes in a rack that meets EIA-310 standards). This mark should indicates the system's upper edge on the vertical rails (see Figure 1-4). Figure 1-4. Marking the Vertical Rails 1 1 Tape on vertical rail Rack Installation Guide 11
