Troubleshooting
Brush plate does not fit rack.
Ensure you are using a standard 19-inch rack. Verify that the rack has sufficient space for the 2U profile. Check if the mounting holes align with standard rack unit spacing.
Cables are difficult to route through the brush opening.
Loosen the cables slightly before routing. Ensure the cables are not excessively thick or numerous for the letterbox opening. The brushes may require a gentle push to allow cables through.
