Attaching the slide members to the rack

To attach the slide members to the rack, complete the following procedure:

1.Attach the front (shorter) and rear (longer) mounting brackets to the outer and middle slide members as shown in Figure 12.

IMPORTANT: Fully tighten the front mounting bracket screws. Leave the rear mounting bracket screws “finger tight” to prevent binding when mounting the library module. Once the distance between rails is set, the screws should be fully tightened.
