To mark the rack, perform the following steps:

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 two-post rack.

The bottom of each 1-U space is at the middle of the narrowest metal area between

holes.

NOTE: If your rack has wide-hole spacing, go to step 3.

Place a mark 88 mm (3.5 inches) above the original mark you made (or count up six

holes in a rack with universal-hole spacing (see Figure 1-2).

Each 1-U (44 mm, or 1.75 inches) of vertical space on a rack with universal-hole

spacing has three holes with center-to-center spacing between holes (beginning at the

top of a 1-U space) of 0.625, 0.625, and 0.5 inches (see Figure 1-2).

1-U space) of 31.7 mm (1.25 inches) (see Figure 1-3).
