To install the shelf brackets in an EIA rack, follow these steps:

Step 1 Position a shelf bracket inside the rack-mounting rails as shown in Figure A-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).

Step 2 Repeat with the other shelf bracket.

Step 3 Verify that the shelf brackets are at the same height (using the level or tape measure as desired).
