d. Use the #2 Phillips screwdriver to insert and tighten the two screws to secure the left rail to the front of the cabinet (FIGURE D-4).
Put the screws into the bottom two holes only. You will secure the third screw after inserting the tray.
The controller tray requires four standard mounting units (4RU) of vertical space in the cabinet. Each standard mounting unit (U) has three mounting holes in the left and right cabinet rails. Insert the screws into the lowest two holes of the 4RU slot in which the tray is to be mounted.
These screws pass through the cabinet rail holes and screw into threaded holes in the rail. Do not tighten the front screws until you have begun securing the back rail screws.
When first positioning the rails, observe that the top of the rail ear (brace) is 1.25 inches below the top of where the tray will be positioned.
