Abstract
A tool for temporarily supporting electronic equipment or panel on an equipment rack is provided. The tool includes an engagement block having a pin for insertion through a mounting aperture of a post of the rack and an upper support surface for supporting or positioning a mounting flange of a faceplate of electronic equipment or panel rested freely thereon. The support surface is spaced from the pin such that, when the pin is inserted into a mounting aperture of the post and the mounting flange of the faceplate is freely rested on the support surface, a mounting aperture extending through the mounting flange is caused to be aligned with a mounting aperture extending through the post of the equipment rack to enable ready permanent connection of the mounting flange to the post with fastening hardware. A method of mounting electronic equipment or panel on an equipment rack is also provided.
