Step 4
Insert the chassis into the slide rails:
a) Align the rear of the inner rails that are attached to the chassis sides with the front ends of the empty slide rails on
the rack.
b) Push the inner rails into the slide rails on the rack until they stop at the internal stops.
c) Slide the release clip toward the rear on both inner rails, and then continue pushing the chassis into the rack until its
front slam latches engage with the rack posts

Step 5
(Optional) Secure the chassis in the rack more permanently by using the two screws that are provided with the slide rails.
Perform this step if you plan to move the rack with chassis installed. With the chassis fully pushed into the slide rails,
open a hinged slam latch lever on the front of the chassis and insert the screw through the hole that is under the lever.
The screw threads into the static part of the rail on the rack post and prevents the chassis from being pulled out. Repeat
for the opposite slam latch.

Connect Cables, Turn on Power, and Verify Connectivity
After rack mounting the chassis, follow these steps to connect cables, turn on power, and verify connectivity.
AC power supplies have internal grounding and so no additional chassis grounding is required when the
supported AC power cords are used. For more information about supported power cords, see
