Configuring the Sliding Rail Assemblies

The sliding rail assembly has a rotating mounting bracket at each end of the rail. The position of the
bracket determines whether the rail assembly is used as a RapidRail or a VersaRail. The RapidRail side of
the bracket has a hook and a latch that secure it to the vertical rail. The VersaRail side of the bracket has
three holes and uses screws to attach it to the vertical rail.

NOTE:

The rack kit ships with the slide assemblies in the RapidRails configuration.

To change from one type of rail assembly to the other type of rail assembly:

1 Lift the blue lever on the rotating mounting bracket (see Figure 1-4).
2 Rotate the bracket and slide it up off of the two shoulder standoffs.
3 Continue to rotate the bracket 180 degrees until you can set the notches back over the shoulder

standoffs.

4 Rotate the bracket in the opposite direction until the bracket clicks into place.

Figure 1-4.
