Rack Installation Guide
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 1-9 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 1-13).
2 Using a 3/8-inch wrench or nut driver, remove two nuts from the adjustable mounting bracket
(see Figure 1-13).
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 1-13).
4 Using the two nuts that you removed in step 2, tighten the nuts finger tight to secure
the adjustable mounting bracket (see Figure 1-13).
5 Repeat step 2 through step 4 to configure the other mounting rail.
