Marking the Rack with the Template
Use the template provided with the kit to mark the rack for cage nut and
mounting bracket positions. Starting at the bottom of the rack or at the top of a
previously mounted component:
1.
Place the template in the desired location on the front of the rack and
secure it with the two push tabs. Make sure that you match the hole
pattern printed on the template with the actual holes on the rack
s
vertical rails.
Figure 3-15.
Measuring with the template
2.
Use a pencil to mark the top four locations indicated on the template for
the two mounting brackets. These locations are for screws, not cage
nuts.
3.
Use a pencil to mark the bottom four locations indicated on the template
for the cage nuts that will hold the captive thumbscrews on the
rack-mount front panel.
4.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the back rails of the rack. On the back, these
locations are for four cage nuts. Also mark where the top of the template
is on the rack. This helps align the next components.
