Installing the shell

You might need to install the shell. Use the procedure in this section to perform this task.

Note: Before installing the shell, ensure that the rails are level from side to side and from front to back.

To install the shell, complete the following steps:

  1. From the front of the rack, place the shell A on the rails and slide it into the rack.

  2. Install and tighten the four retaining screws B into the front of the shell, securing the shell A to the rack.
  3. If you are only installing one drawer, move to the back of the rack and secure the shell A with the retaining screw C. Ensure screw C is attached to the slot of the shell opposite of the slot in which you intend to place the system drawer.
