Attaching the Slide-Rail Assemblies to the Rack
Use this procedure to install the slide-rail assemblies to the rack.
1. Position a slide-rail assembly in your rack so that the brackets at each end of the
slide-rail assembly are on the outside of the front and rear rack posts. See
FIGURE 1-3 .
2. Attach the slide-rail assembly to the rack posts.
The method used to attach the slide-rails varies depending on the type of rack:
■ If your rack has threaded mounting holes in the rack posts, first determine
whether the threads are metric or standard, then insert the correct mounting
screws through the slide-rail brackets and into the threaded holes.
■ If your rack does not have threaded mounting holes, insert the mounting screws
through both the slide-rail brackets and rack posts, then secure them with the
caged nuts.
