Installing the interrack decorative covers kit

About this task

Perform the following steps for each expansion rack that you have completely cabled.

Locate the interrack decorative covers kit. It contains two side interrack covers and one top interrack cover. There are two versions of the interrack decorative covers kit.
- Early version - the covers are packaged in a long narrow cardboard box normally taped to the expansion rack. The side interrack covers are one piece. Go to step 3.
- Later version - the covers are packaged in the large ship group box. Each side interrack cover is in two pieces that are hinged together. Go to the next step.
Assemble each of the side interrack covers as follows:
1. Open the hinged side interrack cover 1 so that it is straight. See the following figure.
2. Loosen the two nuts 2 on the threaded studs next to the hinge points.
3. Slide the plate 3 so that it engages both studs.
4. Tighten both nuts.

Install each of the two interrack side covers 1 by pushing the cover into place over the interrack spacing studs. Take care not to interfere with any interrack cables. See Figure 2.
Install the top interrack cover 2 by pressing it down squarely. The spring clips should hold the cover in place. See Figure 2.
