2 Remove all rack hardware that may interfere with the installation of the rackmount kit and the modules
that you plan to add to the rack.
3 Consider removing the front and back doors of the rack to obtain full access to the mounting holes and
other areas of the rack.
4 Determine the type of rack in which you plan to install the rackmount kit. Different racks require different
rackmount parts. Although the rackmount kit contains many parts, the parts you use depend on your
rack's mounting holes.
a. If the rack has round mounting holes, use the small ferrules and the nut clips.
b. If the rack has square mounting holes, use the large ferrules and the cage nuts.
c. If the rack has threaded (tapped M6) holes, do not use the ferrules, nut clips, or cage nuts.
5 Determine where in your rack you want to install the rackmount shelves.
Consider installing the shelves at a height that puts the base of the control module anywhere between
the 28U-32U alignment markers, which is usually a comfortable height for reading the operator panel.
Remember, the control module can be placed anywhere within the library configuration above, below,
or between any 9U expansion modules.

Installing the Rackmount Shelves

Required parts: Rackmount shelves, ferrules, thumbnuts
1 If the rackmount shelves are extended, collapse them to their smallest size. It is easier to fit and position
the shelves within the rack when the shelves are compact.
Extending the shelves can be difficult, but they are designed to be resized
Note
by hand. Do not use tools to resize the shelves, and never take them apart.
