# Installing the Stagehand
The Stagehand Apprentice ships from the factory with top handles and rubber feet installed, making it a snap to set on any flat surface. No matter the mounting method, the Stagehand Apprentice should always be oriented horizontally.
## **Required Tools**
Before beginning any work assemble the following tools:
* 3/16β Hex Top handle scews ΒΌ-20 SHCS
* 9/64β Hex Case and Rack Bracket screws 8-32 SHCS
* 5/32β Hex Rubber Feet 10-32 SHCS
## Rack Mount
If you prefer to rack up your Stagehands all you need to do is install the included rack ears and install the Stagehand in a rack. The Stagehand must remain horizontal when in use, to maintain proper heat ventilation.
To rack mount the Stagehand Apprentice:
* Remove the four SHCS holding the two plastic handles on the top of the Stagehand\\
* Remove the four SHCS and rubber feet from the bottom of the Stagehand\\
* Install the rack ears on each side of the Stagehand with the included hardware, 3x SHCS per side.\\
* Secure the Stagehand in an equipment rack, keeping it horizontal

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.creativeconners.com/docs/stagehand/stagehand-apprentice/installing-the-stagehand.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
