Attaching the Rear Kick Plates
Kick plates protect cables from accidentally being disconnected or damaged and add an attractive cosmetic
touch to the cabinet. You need to attach three metal kick plates to the bottom rear of the cabinet.
To install the kick plates:
Step 1. Hold the left kick plate in position and attach a clip nut (0590-2318) on the cabinet column next to
the hole in the flange at the top of the kick plate (Figure 3-53).
Step 2. Using a screw (0515-0671) and a T-25 driver, attach the flange on the kick plate to the nut clip.
Step 3. Using a T-10 driver and a screw, attach the bottom of the kick plate to the center hole in the
leveling foot.

Step 4. Perform steps 1–3 on the right kick plate.
Step 5. Position the upper flange of the center kick plate under the I/O trays complementary mounting
bracket so as to retain the center kick plate top flanges. No top screws are needed on the center kick
plate due to this bracket. Orient this asymmetrical bracket with the hole located nearest the edge
in the up position.
Step 6. Using a T-20 driver, tighten the thumbscrews at the bottom of the center kick plate.
