Install the stiffening bracket into the appropriate holes at the back of the slide
assemblies and secure the bracket with a 12-24 x 0.5-inch pan-head Phillips screw on
each slide assembly (see Figure 1-16).

If the vertical rack is 3 inches wide, use the holes at the back end of the slide
assemblies (shown in Figure 1-16). If the vertical rack is 6 inches wide, use the holes
located 3 inches in front of the holes at the back end of the slide assemblies.

Flush-Mount Installation

The two-post rack kit is shipped configured for center-mount installation. To prepare the
slide assemblies for flush-mount installation, perform the following steps:

1

Locate the two slide assemblies and place them, side by side, on a smooth work
surface, with the front ends of the slide assemblies toward you. Position both slide
assemblies so that the center brackets are facing upward (see Figure 1-17).

NOTE: To prepare the slides for flush-mount installation, remove the front mounting

bracket, rotate it 180 degrees, and reinstall it on the opposite slide assembly.
