Chapter 8

Mounting the NetServer in a Rack

48

The "bar nut" is a two-holed metal bar used to secure the mounting
flanges of the slide to the rack columns (see Figure 8-5).

Place bar nut
behind outside
face of column.

Start two screws
in bar nut but do
not tighten.

Figure 8-5. Where to Place Bar Nuts

The bar nut is placed behind the outside face of the column, at the
correct height as determined elsewhere in this chapter. Two screws are
inserted through the correct holes on the front columns. Start (but do
not tighten) both screws in the bar nut.

The slots in the mounting flange allow you to insert the flange in place
behind the outside face but in front of the bar nut.

The mounting flange is then positioned behind the column face, but in
front of the bar nut (see Figure 8-6).
