Insert Cage Nuts Into Rail Holes
Because the RETMA rails have square holes, you might need to use cage nuts to secure the equipment into the rack. The rack shipping kit contains M6 cage nuts and M6 screws. If possible, use the cage nuts that shipped with the equipment's rackmounting hardware.
- Using
your equipment's rack alignment template, or other equipment documentation,
locate the rail holes you are using to install the equipment.
Note - Use the cage nut insertion tool in the shipping kit to install the cage nuts in the rails. - Retrieve a cage nut and hook the bottom lip of the nut in the square rail hole.
- Insert the tip of the
cage nut insertion
tool through
the rail hole and hook the top lip of the cage nut.
- Using the insertion tool, pull the cage nut through the hole until the top lip snaps into place.
