To install the shelf brackets in a two-post telco rack, follow these steps:

Step 1 Position a shelf bracket inside a rack-mounting rail as shown in Figure C-1. 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).

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). Step 4 Attach the crossbar to the rear of the shelf brackets as shown in Figure C-1, using the 10-32 screws.
