To install the shelf brackets in an EIA rack, follow these steps:
Step 1
Position a shelf bracket inside the rack-mounting rails as shown in the above figure. Align the screw holes at the front of
the shelf bracket with the holes in the front rack-mounting rail. Then attach the shelf bracket to the front rack-mounting
rail using a minimum of four 12-24 or 10-24 screws.

(the hole immediately above the 1/2 in. spacing).

Step 3 Verify that the shelf brackets are at the same height (using the level or tape measure as desired).
