Mounting the Rail Assemblies on the Brackets

1 Place a rail assembly in one set of brackets, slide the rail assembly all of the way into the rack (1), and then pull the slide rail out of the rail assembly (2).

Use this slot if the screw holes do not line up.

Note

If the rail comes in contact with the rack and does not slide in and out smoothly, install the rail guides. For information about how to install the rail guides, see “When the Rack Obstructs Rail Movement” (page 14).

2 Align the screw holes in the rail assembly with the screw holes in the brackets, and then use a C screw to secure the back end of the rail assembly to the bracket.

When you use the S screw holes you do not need to use nuts, so installation is easier. If you cannot use the S screw holes, secure the screws with nuts.

The position is easy to determine if you push the rail assembly all of the way into the rack so that it is touching the post in the back of the rack. If the screw holes do not line up, use the slot to the side of the round screw hole to fasten the rail assembly to the bracket. If you decide to use the elongated holes to fasten the rail assembly to the bracket, you must fasten the rail assembly in two points. If you fasten the rail assembly in only one point, the rail assembly can turn on the bracket, which may lead to damage and/or injury when pulling out the S-AIT library from the rack.

3 Pull the slide rail all of the way out of the rail assembly, and then use a C screw to secure the front end of the rail assembly to the bracket.

If you decide to use the elongated holes to fasten the rail assembly to the bracket, you must fasten the rail assembly in two points. If you fasten the rail assembly in only one point, the rail assembly can turn on the bracket, which may lead to damage and/ or injury when pulling out the S-AIT library from the rack.

If you use the slots for fastening, be sure to carefully align the rack and the rail assembly before tightening the screws.

4 Mount the rail assembly on the other side in the same manner.
