Rack Manager Rack Mounting
1. Attaching the

NOTE: The rear bracket plate is
designed to accommodate a variety
of server cabinet depths. Determine
the server cabinet depth, then
select the appropriate bracket plate
attachment hole pattern that, when
attached to the appliance, will allow
the bracket plate to extend just
beyond the rear uprights.
Using at least four of the provided
screws, attach a rear bracket plate
to one side of the rack manager.
Repeat for the opposite side.
2. Attaching the
front ear brackets
Using the provided screws, attach
the front ear brackets to the front
four holes on each side of the rack
manager.
3. Attaching the rear bracket
plate holders to the uprights
Using the appropriate hardware,
attach the rear bracket plate holders
to the rear two server cabinet
uprights. Orient the brackets'
channels so they protrude into the
server cabinet space. Fasten in place
with the appropriate hardware.
Repeat for the opposite side.
