Step 1: Prepare the rack
To prepare the rack for installation, install the cage nuts and the support shelf for the selected location.
To install the cage nuts on the rack rails:
1. Using the front-rack ear (2450-360) as a guide, mark holes for the selected installation location (four places
total, two for each rail).
2. Install the cage nuts (1) in the backside of each rail hole (2) where marked in step 1. To install a cage nut,
place the bottom lip of the nut so it rests in the rail hole. If you are using a cage nut installation tool, through
the rail hole, grab the top lip of the nut with the tool and pull (3) until the nut snaps in place. Repeat for each
cage nut.
