  4. Secure the mounting brackets with the cage nuts on the left and right RETMA rails at the back of the rack.
    1. Using your equipment rack alignment template, or other equipment documentation, locate the second and fifth rail holes from the bottom.

      Note -  Use the cage nut insertion tool in the ship kit to install the cage nuts in the rails.
    2. Align the cage nut with the square rail hole .
    3. Hook the side lip of the nut in the square rail hole.
    4. Insert the tip of the cage nut insertion tool through the rail hole, hook the other side lip of the cage nut, and lever the cage nut into place.

    1. Slide a HPDU on the bottom of the rack from the front until the bracket catches in the square rail hole on the left and right sides of the rack.
    2. Verify that the HPDU slot engages the pin on the rear bracket.
    3. Slide the second HPDU on top of the first HPDU until it catches in the square rail hole on the left and right sides of the rack.
    4. Verify that the slot of the second HPDU engages the pin on the rear bracket.

  6. Install both VPS's.
    1. At the back of the rack, with the PDU power cable at the bottom of the VPS, which faces the front of the rack, on the left side, align the slots at the top and bottom of the VPS with the M6 studs.
    2. Slide the VPS into place, and using the M10 nut driver, secure the VPS with the M6 hex nuts.
    3. Snake the HPDU power cable down and forward toward the bottom HPDU, and loop the cable to the back of the rack.
