Installing cage nuts
Cage nuts are used to secure systems and other components to the
vertical rails in the rack.
To install cage nuts:
1 Insert the lower lip of the cage nut over the bottom of the
opening at the back of a rail.
2 Insert the small end of the cage-nut installation tool through the
opening in front of the rail and hook the tool over the top lip of
the M6 cage nut as shown below.
Note: If the rack’s rail has a rounded screw hole you must use the
M610 cage nut.
3 Push in the cage nut while rotating the tool up and pulling the
tool back toward you until the top lip of the cage nut snaps into
position.
4 Repeat this process to install the other cage nuts in their
appropriate locations.
