Level the Rack Cabinet

The leveling feet at the corners of the equipment provide a stable base if the door is uneven, but they cannot compensate for a badly sloped surface. Ensure the cabinet is in its intended location. Remove the front and rear doors.

NOTE: Before removing the front door, unplug the ground wires and any other wire connections that may interfere with the removal of the doors.

NOTE:

- Use an 18 mm open-end wrench to lower each leveler A until it reaches the floor. (There are 4 levelers, 2 at the front and 2 at the rear.) Make sure each leveler contacts the floor solidly.

- Adjust each foot and, using a level, adjust the feet until the cabinet is level and plumb. Do not install the doors until after the cabinet is joined to others in the row.
