Coupling Two Racks

WARNING: Because of the size and weight of the rack cabinets, never attempt to couple two rack cabinets by yourself.

1Unpack and set up both racks.

2Unpack the coupling kit, shown in Figure 1-18. The contents of the rack coupling kit include:

One gasket strip

Four coupling brackets

3Remove the doors and side panels from both racks. See "Removing the Front Door" on page 9, "Opening and Removing the Back Doors" on page 10, and "Removing and Replacing the Side Panels" on page 12.

4Cut and place a segment of the gasket strip, with its protective backing removed, on one of the racks along the frame surface to be in contact with the adjacent rack (see Figure 1-19).

NOTE: It does not matter on which rack you place the gasket strip segments, as long as they protect both racks from being scratched.
