Chapter 3 22nd 20th 22nd 20th (At Rear Of Column) Figure 3-1. Marking Holes for Installation You will mark two holes on each of the front columns to use for the rack nuts where the two recessed mounting brackets attach to the columns. When the installation is complete, these brackets secure the NetServer in the rack enclosure.
