CAUTION:
system is installed in the lowest available position in the rack.
To mark the rack, perform the following steps:
1
Place a mark on the rack's front vertical rails where you want to locate the bottom of
the system you are installing in the rack cabinet.
The bottom of each 1-U space is at the middle of the narrowest metal area between holes
(marked with a horizontal line on some rack cabinets—see Figure 1-4).
2
Place a mark approximately 8.75 inches above the original mark you made (or count up
15 holes in a rack that meets EIA-310 standards) and mark the rack's front vertical rails with
a felt-tipped pen or masking tape (if you counted holes, place a mark just above the top hole).
This mark or piece of tape indicates where the system's upper edge will be located on the
vertical rails (see Figure 1-4).
