through the rounded slots in the outer slide into the threaded holes in the bracket and tighten them as
shown in
Figure 4 .

5. Use the remaining three slot-head screws to attach the other rear mounting bracket to the other outer slide.
6. Fasten the rear mounting brackets—and the slides attached to them—to the rear equipment rack rails.
Depending on the type of holes in the equipment rack, use one of the following methods:
•
For tapped (threaded) holes, use two screws to fasten the brackets directly to the rack rails. Use the
cross-head screws (with 10-32 threads) if they fit the holes in the rack.
• For round holes, use the cross-head screws to fasten the brackets through the holes in the rack rails to
the bar nuts. You can use the locator pins to help keep the bar nuts aligned to the holes. See
Figure 5 .

(You can use a locator pin to help keep the bar nut
aligned with the holes.) Then screw the bracket through
