3. Line up the rack-mount bracket holes to the holes on the rack and ensure that the unit is level.
4. Finger tighten four rack-mount screws to attach the unit to the rack.
5. Verify that the spacing around the unit conforms to requirements and that the unit is level, then tighten the rackmount screws with an appropriate screwdriver.
6. Plug the provided power cable into the rear of the unit, and then into grounded electrical outlets or separate power sources, such as an uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) or a power distribution units (PDU).
