Preparing for Installation
Component
2 Remove all rack hardware that may interfere with the installation of the
rackmount 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.
Different racks require different rackmount parts. Although the Rackmount
kit contains many parts, the parts you use depend on your rack's mounting
holes:
• If the rack has round mounting holes, use the small ferrules and the nut
clips.
• If the rack has square mounting holes, use the large ferrules and the
cage nuts.
• If the rack has threaded (tapped M6) holes, do not use the ferrules, nut
clips, or cage nuts. 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.
