Center-Mount Installation
The two-post rack kit is shipped with the brackets configured for center-mount installation.
To complete the installation, perform the following steps:
1
Locate the right slide assembly and push the back bracket toward the back of the slide
assembly (see Figure 1-4).
2
Position the right slide assembly in the two-post rack at the location you marked, push
the back bracket forward against the vertical two-post rack, secure the front center-
mounting bracket with two 12-24 x 0.5-inch pan-head Phillips screws, and secure the
back center-mounting bracket to the rack with three 12-24 x 0.5-inch pan-head
Phillips screws (see Figure 1-4).
3
Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the left slide assembly in the rack.
4
Install the stiffening bracket into the appropriate holes at the back of the slide
assemblies and secure the bracket with a 12-24 0.5-inch pan-head Phillips screw on
each slide assembly (see Figure 1-4).
If the vertical rack is 3 inches wide, use the holes at the back end of the slide
assemblies (shown in Figure 1-4). 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.
