Step 2 Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
Step 3 Hold the chassis in position against the mounting rails while the second person finger-tightens a screw
to the rack rails on each side of the chassis.

between the top and bottom of the chassis.
Step 5 Attach the side brackets to the left and right side of the chassis by finger-tightening two screws through
each bracket into the chassis.
Step 6 Attach the side bracket front flanges to the rack by finger-tightening two screws through each bracket
flange into the front mounting rails of the rack.
Step 7 Fully tighten both the screws on the chassis mounting flanges on each side to secure the chassis to the
rack rails.
