These slide rails come with spring-loaded locking pins at both ends of each rail. To attach the slide rails to an equipment rack, you need to pull back the pin carriage, align the pins with holes in the equipment rack-mounting flange, and release the pin carriage to lock the pins into the rack posts. A rail-adjustment bracket allows you to adjust the length of the slide rails to fit the rack. (See Figure 3-4.)

The chassis rests on the lower ledges provided by the two rails and slides in and out of the rack along the rail ledges.

To install the chassis in a four-post rack, follow these steps:

Step 1 To begin, open the pin carriages at the front and rear of the left slide rail:

•On the front of the rail, press on tabs labeled (2) and (3) in Figure 3-4, and slide the pin carriage toward the rear of the rail, releasing the latch tab (2) as it catches in place.
