Installing cage nuts

Cage nuts are use to secure systems and other components to the

vertical rails in the rack.

To install cage nuts:

1 Insert the lower lip of the cage nut over the bottom of the

opening at the back of a rail.

2 Insert the small end of the cage-nut installation tool through the

opening in front of the rail and hook the tool over the top lip of

the cage nut as shown below.

3 Push in the cage nut while rotating the tool up and pulling the

tool back toward you until the top lip of the cage nut snaps into

position.

4 Repeat this process to install the other cage nuts in their

appropriate locations.
