kit should be installed with one enclosure just below
the couplet in rack positions 5 and 6, and the other
enclosure just above the couplet in rack positions 15
and 16. As you add capacity kits, install the kit
enclosures immediately above and below the existing
capacity enclosures; do not leave any gaps between
enclosures.
For the upper couplet within the rack, install the first
capacity kit with one enclosure in rack positions 21
and 22, and the other enclosure in rack positions 35
and 36. Install additional capacity kits immediately
above and below the existing capacity enclosures in
the same manner as for the lower couplet.
