washers on the rack screws to ensure a good conductive connection between the chassis and the rack.
For information about installing the units in a customer cabinet, see the instructions from the cabinet
manufacturer.
Three chassis fit in a standard rack. However, if you use the external AC-input power supply, you can
install two chassis with the power supply.
