Marking the location without a rack-mounting template

You might need to mark the location without a template. Use the procedure in this section to perform this task.

1. Determine where in the rack to place the system. Record the EIA location.
   Note: An EIA unit on your rack consists of a grouping of three holes.
2. Facing the front of the rack and working from the right side, place a supplied self-adhesive dot next to the top hole of the EIA unit.
   Note: The self-adhesive dots are used to aid in identifying locations on the rack. If you no longer have any of the dots, use some other form of marking tool to aid you in identifying hole locations (for example, tape, a marker, or pencil).
3. Place another self-adhesive dot next to the bottom hole of the above EIA unit.
   Note: If you are counting the holes, begin with the hole identified by the first dot and count up two holes. Place the second dot next to the third hole.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the corresponding holes located on the left side of the rack.
5. Go to the back of the rack.
6. On the right side, find the EIA unit that corresponds to the bottom EIA unit marked on the front of the rack.
7. Place a self-adhesive dot at the bottom EIA unit.
8. Place a self-adhesive dot at the top hole of the EIA unit.
9. Mark the corresponding holes on the left side of the rack.
