Page 56 Chapter 8 Mounting the NetServer in a Rack The "bar nut" is a two-holed metal bar used to secure the mounting flanges of the slide to the rack columns (see Figure 8-5). Place bar nut behind outside face of column. Start two screws in bar nut but do not tighten.
Page 57 Chapter 8 Mounting the NetServer in a Rack Figure 8-6. Securing Slide to the Front Column Once you understand how to use the bar nut, use the template (or count if you no longer have the template) to mark the correct holes for mounting (on all four columns).

Page 64 Chapter 8 Mounting the NetServer in a Rack If you no longer have a template, place the rack nuts for the bezel latch on the right front column in the 11th and 15th EIA holes above the unit mounted below the HP NetServer. Place the rack nuts for the bezel hinge on the left front column in the 6th and 19th EIA holes above the unit mounted below the HP NetServer.
Page 65 Chapter 8 Mounting the NetServer in a Rack CAUTION Both rack types feature an anti-tip foot which must be extended out the front to prevent rack tip-over. See Figure 8-12. You can tell the front from the rear (for both types of rack) by the overhanging top panel at the rear of the rack.
