Step 3 Position the chassis in the rack, inserting the rear of the chassis between the front mounting rails (see Figure 2-4). Use the 12-24 x 3/4-in. or 10-32 x 3/4-in. screws (depending on the type of rack) to attach the front rack-mount brackets to the mounting rails (three per side).

If you are installing the optional cable guides, place the cable guides in front of the front rack-mount brackets, and then pass the screws through the cable guides, front rack-mount brackets, and mounting rail. You can install one or both cable guides; if installing a single cable guide, it can be installed on either side.
