To install the shelf brackets in an EIA rack, follow these steps:
Step 1 Position a shelf bracket inside the rack-mounting posts, as shown in the figure above. Align the screw holes at the front
of the shelf bracket with the holes in the front rack-mounting post. Then, attach the shelf bracket to the front rack-mounting
post using a minimum of four 12-24 or 10-24 screws.
Note The bottom hole of the shelf bracket should align with the bottom hole (the hole immediately above the 1/2 in.
spacing) of a rack unit on the rack-mounting post.
Step 2 Repeat Step 1 with the other shelf brackets.
Step 3
Verify that the shelf brackets are at the same height (using the level or tape measure, as desired).
Step 4 Attach the crossbar to the shelf brackets, as shown in the figure above, using the 10-32 screws.
Step 5
Insert the slider posts into the shelf brackets, as shown in the figure above. Attach them to the rear rack-mounting posts,
using a minimum of four 12-24 or 10-24 screws.
