Note: In order to prevent a possible interference between the rack frame front and chassis rack
ears, the tapped rails may need to be adjusted such that they are recessed approximately 2 inches
behind the rack frame front. If the rack has a front door, this distance may need to be slightly more
depending on the door thickness.
