Attach the fixing brackets for a DXiP rack with a sliding tray

Attach the mounting brackets in either position shown in
flush: use the P2 screwdriver to attach the adjustable brackets to the sides
■
of the rack with the M4 screws in the front four holes of the bracket;
recessed: use the P2 screwdriver to attach the adjustable brackets to the
■
sides of the rack with the M4 screws in the rear four holes of the bracket.
The recessed position sets the rack away from the the front of the cabinet.
This creates additional space for the cables that attach to the front panel.

1. Install four caged nuts to the front rail of the cabinet (five holes apart) in the
3U space where the DXiP rack will go.
2. Lift the rack, with the adjustable mounting brackets fitted, into place and use a
flat-blade screwdriver to attach the rack to the front rails of the cabinet with
four M6 bolts. See Figure
