Measuring the Distance between Mounting Rails


To measure the distance between the rack mounting rails:
1. Place the 4036/2036 chassis on a flat surface.
2. Using a measuring tape, measure the front-to-back distance between the rack vertical
mounting rails. This step is very important so that you know exactly how to calculate the
exact rail length.
3. Mark the rack's U levels at which you would like to mount the switch. This is important so
that you can install the clip nuts in the adequate holes and ensure that the chassis is leveled.
4. Using a flat screwdriver, install the clip nuts in the rack at the U level noted in Step 3.
