Installing The Cage Nuts - Nvidia DGX A100 Service Manual

17.2. Installing the Cage Nuts
The DGX A100 server is secured to the rack using four captive screws - one at each corner of
the front of the unit.
‣
If your rack has round holes with 10-32 threads, then the screws will attached directly to
the rack mounting holes.
‣
If your rack has square holes, then you need to install the included cage nuts to provide
attachment points for mounting the DGX A100 server to the front of the rack.
The number of cage nuts to install depends on the type of rack that is used. On most racks,
cage nuts are needed only for the top screws. The bottom screws will attach to the threads in
the rails. The image on the left side of the following diagram shows this type. Green arrows
indicate the general area for the cage nuts.
The image on the right side shows a rack with square posts such that the rail does not meet
the front-most part of the rack, In this rack, cage nuts need to be installed at the bottom
holes as well, as indicated by the green arrows. All four cage nuts are also needed if you have
installed a rack shelf instead of rack rails.
Use the provided template to determine the exact location for installing the cage nuts.
