Don’t usethe cage-nut tool.5.1.7 Hook in the additional rack and level it by turning theadjustable feet. Tighten the screws through the adjustable feet to thepreinstalled plugs in the floor.5.2 Back to back5.1.5 Install on the top and bottom of the side panel a side toside (STS) attachment plate. If necessary remove the pigtail exit plateon the top to have better access.5.2.1 In case of a rack with back panel, remove the grounding wireinstalled on the back panel before removing it.5

5.2.4 Position the second rack back to back and secure the bottomwith the bolts in the spacers and secure the top with the metalconnection strip.6 Grounding of the rack5.2.2 In case of a rack with back panel remove the back panel fromthe rack.6.1 Interconnect the grounding wires of the base rack to the sideducts.5.2.3 Install on the two bottom locations the spacers on the outsideof the rack. Mark the securing positions of the second rack on the floorby positioning the second rack against the pre-installed spacers of thefirst rack. Remove the rack and drill the holes for the securing plugs.6.2 Install the local approved grounding cable to the vertical groundingbar of the base rack (top or bottom).6
