Hinging side assembly on the two fasteners affixed in Step 2, rotate Side assembly upwards
to align mounting holes in the two top brackets. Install remaining (6) 3/8" Bolts and paint
piercing washers in the locations shown below. Stand the rack upright. Verify #12-24 tapped
holes or Cage nuts are EIA spaced at 18.31". Square the rack vertically by measuring the
distance from A to D, and B to C shown in 3.2. The difference in distance from A to D, and B
to C should be no greater than 1/8". Square the rack horizontally by measuring the distance
from E to H, and F to G shown in 3.3. The difference in distance from E to H, and F to G
should be no greater than 1/8". Completely tighten all bolts to at least
14 ft.-lbs (19.0 N-m)

Note: Floor mounting bolts must be used in all applications in order to
provide maximum rigidity, load bearing capacity and safety.The maximum
weight load is 2500 pounds. The rack is designed for heavier equipment
to be mounted near the bottom and supported from front to back. Shelves
(sold separately) that mount on both the front and rear of the rack may
also be installed to support equipment. Manufacturers often provide a
shelf (or cradle) to support their specific equipment. In cases where the
manufacturer doesn’t provide a cradle, please contact Panduit engineering prior to installation for possible alternative mounting methods.

Panduit recommends putting the front rails 1" back for optimal
thermal and cable management.
Front rails are to be recessed less than 1.5" to be compatible with
newer thermal ducts.

Flippable EIA Mounting Rails
The rack is shipped with rails in a numbers-up orientation. The rails can
be flipped to read in a numbers-down orientation by moving 1 right rail and
1 left rail in tandem. Remove (3) 5/16"-18 X 3/4" Mounting Bolts on each
rail. Then flip right rail so that numbering reads down and bolt to left side
of assembly using bolt orientation shown. Then flip left rail so that numbering reads down and bolt to right side of assembly using bolt orientation shown.
