Fixed Bracket Rack Mount Installation

1.Fully extend a rail assembly; the finger tab for the extension lock is revealed.

2.Press the finger tab and slide the inside rail from the middle rail until it completely separates.

Note: The middle rail and outer rail cannot be separated.

3.Position an inside rail along one side of the chassis with the finger tab facing outward and located closer to the rear of the chassis.

4.Align the holes in the rail with the tabs on the chassis and place the rail against the chassis.

5.Slide the rail as far as it will go toward the front of the chassis to engage the tabs.

6.Fasten the rail to the chassis using one screw at the front of the chassis.

7.In the same manner, attach the other inside rail to the other side of the chassis

8.Using two screws, attach one nut bar to the inside of the rack post. Do not completely tighten the screws; leave them loose enough to allow insertion of the brackets in the next step.

9.Insert the slotted foot of a rail bracket between each nut bar and post.

10.Align the face of the bracket foot with the inside edge of the rack post and firmly tighten the screws.

11.Repeat steps 8 to 10 above to install the other 3 brackets (2 front & 2 back). Ensure all brackets are at the same height on the rack.

12.Position a rail assembly (middle and outer rails) with its black plastic end caps toward the rear of the rack and its outer rail closest to the brackets.

13.Align the front screw hole in the outer rail with the threaded hole nearest the front of the front bracket and fit the rail assembly into the front and rear brackets.

14.Slide the middle rail toward the front until the access hole in the middle rail is aligned with the front screw hole in the outer rail.

15.Insert screw through the access hole and loosely attach the outer rail to the front bracket.

16.In a similar manner to steps 13 through 15, install a screw through a slot in the outer rail and into the rear-most threaded hole in the front bracket. Firmly tighten this screw.

17.Firmly tighten the front screw installed loosely in step 15.

18.In the same manner, attach the other rail assembly to the other side.

19.Slide the middle rail toward the front until the rear bracket area is accessible.

20.Attach the rear end of the outer rail to the rear bracket with at least one screw. If possible, attach at two places.

21.In the same manner, attach the other rail assembly to the other side.
