Installing the Mounting Rails for Center-Mount Configuration

Flush-Mount Installation

The two-post rack kit is shipped with the brackets configured for a 7.62-cm (3-inch) wide center-
mount installation. See Figure 1-10 for mounting rail components. To prepare the mounting rails
for flush-mount installation in the two-post rack, perform the following steps:

1 Locate the two mounting rails and place them side by side on a smooth work surface,

with the front ends of the mounting rails toward you (see Figure 1-14).

2 Using a 3/8-inch wrench or nut driver, remove two nuts from the adjustable mounting bracket

(see Figure 1-14).

3 Remove the bracket and then place the bracket on either the 7.62-cm or 15.24-cm

(3-inch or 6-inch) wide flush-mount threaded studs (see Figure 1-14).
