■The front, middle, and rear sections form the slide rail. The middle and rear sections have holes for mounting screws and adjust to fit rack depths from 24 in. (61 cm) to 36.5 in. (93 cm). The front section can be extended to allow movement of the server out of the rack.

■The removeable mounting bracket slides 14 in. (35.5 cm) out of the slide rail, then locks in place. If you unlock the mounting bracket at this point, it slides an additional 12 in. (30 cm) before separating from the slide rail. You can then mount the mounting bracket to the right or left side of the server chassis.

■Note that there are a total of five locks (FIGURE 1-8) in a slide rail assembly. Four are on the mounting bracket. One lock is on the front section of the slide rail. The uses of these locks are described in the installation procedure in Chapter 2.
