To install the shelf brackets in a Telco rack, follow these steps:

Procedure

  1. Position a shelf bracket inside a rack-mounting post as shown in Figure 1 and align the screw holes at the front of the shelf bracket with the holes in the rack-mounting post. Then, attach the shelf bracket to the rack-mounting post using a minimum of four 12-24 or 10-24 screws.
    Note:

    The bottom hole of the shelf bracket should align with the bottom hole (the hole immediately above the 1/2 in. spacing) of a rack unit on the rack-mounting post.

  2. Repeat Step 1 with the other shelf brackets.
  3. Verify that the shelf brackets are at the same height (using the level or tape measure, as desired).
  4. Attach the crossbar to the rear of the shelf brackets, as shown in Figure 1, using the 10-32 screws.
