Note - The 19-inch, 2-post rackmount kit supports rack web thicknesses (the width of the rack post) of 3 in. (76.20 mm), 4 in. (101.6 mm), and 5 in. (127 mm).
See Handling Precautions and ESD Precautions.
See Rack Cautions and Stabilize the Rack.
The size of the screws varies, depending on your rack.
The rear plates attach to the rear of the post and to one of the three sets of eyelets on each side bracket, depending on the thickness of the post.
The position varies depending on the thickness of the rail in the rack. For example, the following figure shows where you would install the screws for the optimum rack position on the rear plate.
The screw heads should be facing the rear of the server. The other side of the rear plate should be in front of the rack post.
The size of the screws varies, depending on your rack.
