FigureA-2 Installing the Shelf Bracket Kit into an EIA Rack
To install the shelf brackets in an EIA rack, follow these steps:
Step1 Position a shelf bracket inside the rack-mounting rails as shown in FigureA-2. Align the screw holes at
the front of the shelf bracket with the holes in the front rack-mounting rail. Then attach the shelf bracket
to the front 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).
