ETS 300-119 standards.
Warning
Two people are required to lift the chassis. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your
legs, not your back. Statement 164

Tip

other hand near the back of the chassis for balance. Slowly lift the chassis in unison. Avoid sudden twists
or moves to prevent injury.

chassis fully into the rack.
Step 3
Locate the rack post holes that align with the chassis L bracket holes. If the rack post holes are
prethreaded, determine if the threads are 10-32 or 12-24. If the rack post holes are unthreaded, install a
minimum of eight (four on each side) either 10-32 or 12-24 clip or cage nuts over the rack post holes to
accept the installation screws.
Note
If you want to install one or both of the optional cable guides, position the cable guides so that the cable

holes, rack-mount L bracket holes, rack post holes, and into the clip nuts to secure the cable guides and
the chassis to the rack post. Tighten the screws securely.
