Connecting multiple racks with the rack-to-rack attachment kit for a 600 mm pitch

You might need to connect multiple racks together.

1. Read the Rack safety notices.
2. If they are installed, remove the side panels from each rack. Remove side panels only from the sides that you are attaching to each other by completing the following steps:
   1. Remove the screws on the top and insides of the rack.
   2. Pull the panel up and away from the rack chassis. This motion releases the panel from the lower J bracket.
   3. Store the side panels.
3. Remove the J-bracket screws (A) and bracket (B).
