1.
Decide the U level where you want to install the shelf.
Note: Racks are marked in vertical increments of 1.75 inches. Each increment is referred to as a unit, or “U”. A 1-U-high device is 1.75 inches tall.
2.
Install one cage nut or clip nut on each front mounting rail, in the bottom hole of the U level where you want the shelf.
Use cage nuts for a rack with square holes; use clip nuts for a rack with round holes. If the rack requires cage nuts, use a cage-nut-insertion tool or a flat-blade screwdriver to install them.
