You might need to mark the location without a template. Use the
procedure in this section to perform this task.
If you do not have a rack-mounting template, complete the following
steps:
- Determine where in the rack to place the system. Record the EIA
location.
- Note the following information:
- Each EIA unit consists of three holes.
- These systems are two EIA units high.
- Facing the front of the rack and working from the
right side, place a supplied self-adhesive dot next to the middle hole of
the bottom EIA unit that you selected.
Note: The self-adhesive
dots are used to aid in identifying locations on the rack. If do not 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).
- Place another self-adhesive dot next to the bottom
hole of the above EIA unit. There will be one hole between the dots.
- Repeat steps 3 through 4 for the corresponding holes located
on the left side of the rack.
- Go to the back of the rack. On the right side, find the EIA unit
that corresponds to the bottom EIA unit marked on the front of the rack.
- Place a self-adhesive dot at the middle hole of the bottom EIA
unit.
- Place a self-adhesive dot at the bottom hole of the next (above)
EIA unit.
- Mark the corresponding holes on the left side of the rack.
