Kit Instructions
The Double Mounting Brackets are used to mount Rack PDUs or other equipment to the vertical mounting rails inside the rack. The location of the Mounting Brackets depends on the equipment you want to install. The Mounting Brackets have cutouts to accommodate the toolless mounting pegs of your Rack PDUs.
Proper location in the rack for the cage nuts:
1. Locate the top and bottom U space on the vertical mounting rails. Every
third hole on the mounting rails is numbered to indicate the middle of a U
space.
2. Install the cage nuts on the interior of the vertical mounting rail; then
install the shelf.
CAUTION
FALLING EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Do NOT install cage nuts vertically with the tabs engaging the top and bottom
of the square hole.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.
• Install cage nuts horizontally, with the tabs engaging the sides of the
square hole.
• Install the cage nuts on the interior of the vertical mounting rail.
Install the cage nut:
- From the inside of the rack, insert the cage nut into the square hole.
- Hook one tab of the cage nut assembly through the far side of the hole.
- Place the cage nut tool on the other side of the cage nut and pull to snap into position.
Remove the cage nut:
1. Remove any attached screw.
2. Grasp the cage nut, squeeze the tabs on the sides, and push to release it
from the square hole.
Install the Mounting Brackets:
Using the hardware provided, install the Mounting Brackets in the location
where you plan to install your Rack PDU or other equipment. There are four
Mounting Brackets in the Kit; two (2) for the left side of the rack and two
(2) for the right side of the rack.
Make sure to position the Mounting Brackets so that the small end of the cut-
out is at the bottom so the toolless mounting peg of a Rack PDU installs
securely.
The Easy Rack in the illustration is shown without doors or side panels for
clarity.
