■
Tools and Equipment Needed
To install the shelf, you need the following tools:
Phillips head No. 2 screwdriver that is a minimum of 4 inches long.
■
T20 Torx driver if using a threaded cabinet.

A mechanical lift is highly recommended because the chassis can weigh approximately 51

engage the rails.
Flashlight for the spotter to ensure the shelf is engaged in the rails.

■
Any 19-inch wide, 4-post, EIA-compatible rack or cabinet with a front-to-back depth

threaded or unthreaded cabinet rails. Threaded cabinets must be M6 or 10-32 cabinets.
Cabinets must be able to support the weight of all equipment contained within them.
Position the rack where the shelf is to be installed adjacent to the rack where the controller is
installed, if separate. Stabilize the cabinet and lock the casters. To facilitate access, remove doors
from cabinets.
