Coupling Two Racks
WARNING: Because of the size and weight of the rack cabinets, never attempt
to couple two rack cabinets by yourself.
NOTE: For complete rack installation instructions, see your rack installation guide.
1 Unpack and set up both racks.
2 Unpack the coupling kit, shown in Figure 1-1.
The contents of the rack coupling kit include:
• One gasket strip
• Four coupling brackets
Figure 1-1. Rack Coupling Kit
3 Remove the doors and side panels from both racks. See "Removing the Front
Door", "Opening and Removing the Back Doors", and "Removing and
Replacing the Side Panels" in your rack installation guide.
4 Cut and place a segment of the gasket strip, with its protective backing
removed, on one of the racks along the frame surface to be in contact with
the adjacent rack (see Figure 1-2).
NOTE: It does not matter on which rack you place the gasket strips,
as long as the strips protect both racks from being scratched.
