2 Place a mark 44 mm (1.75 inches) above the original mark you made (or count up
three holes in a rack that meets EIA-310 standards) and mark the rack’s front vertical
rails with a felt-tipped marker or masking tape (if you counted holes, place a mark just
above the top hole).
This mark or piece of tape indicates where the system’s upper edge will be located on
the vertical rails (see Figure 1-4).

Installing the RapidRails Slide Assemblies
1 At the front of the rack cabinet, position one of the RapidRails slide assemblies so that
its mounting-bracket flange fits between the marks or tape you placed on the rack (see
Figure 1-5).
The mounting hook on the slide assembly’s front mounting bracket flange should
enter the top hole between the marks you made on the vertical rails.
2 Push the slide assembly forward until the mounting hook enters its respective square
hole on the vertical rail, and then push down on the mounting-bracket flange until the
mounting hooks seat in the square holes and the push button pops out and clicks.
