    1. Use the mounting slot dimensions to mark the hole locations. You must supply your own 3/8 inch (10mm) mounting hardware. Note: The Control Electronic Module (CEM) on SR12D and SR24D racks is located near the bottom of the rack. Install these racks at least 36 inches (1 meter) above the floor for easy access to rack controls.

  • Page 13: Securing Floor-Standing Sr48D Racks

    Securing floor-standing SR48D racks Floor-standing SR48D racks must be bolted to a wall for stability. For greater stability, you can also add floor-mounted securing hardware. Note: Installing securing hardware in the SR48D floor mounting holes does not eliminate the requirement for bolting the rack to the wall. 1.
