Cisco MDS 9000 Family Telco and EIA Shelf Bracket
To install the shelf brackets in a telco rack, follow these steps:
Step1 Position a shelf bracket inside a rack-mounting rail as shown in FigureA-1 and align the screw holes at
the front of the shelf bracket with the holes in the rack-mounting rail. Then attach the shelf bracket to
the rack-mounting rail using a minimum of four 12-24 or 10-24 screws.
Note The bottom hole of the shelf bracket should align with the bottom hole of a rack unit on the
rack-mounting rail (the hole immediately above the 1/2-in. spacing).
Step2 Repeat with the other shelf bracket.
Step3 Verify that the shelf brackets are at the same height (using the level or tape measure as desired).
Step4 Attach the crossbar to the rear of the shelf brackets as shown in FigureA-1, using the 10-32 screws.
