Center-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 1-9 for mounting rail components. To complete the installation,
perform the following steps:
1 Locate the right mounting rail and push the adjustable mounting bracket toward the back
of the mounting rail (see Figure 1-12).
2 Position the right mounting rail in the two-post rack at the location you marked, push the
center-mount adjustable mounting bracket forward against the vertical two-post rack, and
secure the mounting flange and adjustable mounting bracket to the rack with four
12-24 x 0.5-inch pan-head Phillips screws (see Figure 1-12).
3 Repeat step 1 and step 2 to install the left mounting rail in the rack.
