1.4.3Attaching the Slide-Rail Assemblies to the Rack

Use this procedure to install the slide-rail assemblies to the rack.

1.Position a slide-rail assembly in your rack so that the brackets at each end of the slide-rail assembly are on the outside of the front and rear rack posts. See

FIGURE 1-4.

2.Attach the slide-rail assembly to the rack posts.

The method used to attach the slide-rails varies depending on the type of rack:

■If your rack has threaded mounting holes in the rack posts, first determine whether the threads are metric or standard, and then insert the correct mounting screws through the slide-rail brackets and into the threaded holes.

■If your rack does not have threaded mounting holes, insert the mounting screws through both the slide-rail brackets and rack posts, and then secure them with the caged nuts.
