Step 2
Open the front securing plate on both slide-rail assemblies. The front end of the slide-rail assembly has
a spring-loaded securing plate that must be open before you can insert the mounting pegs into the
rack-post holes (see
Figure 2-2 ).
On the outside of the assembly, push the green arrow button toward the rear to open the securing plate.

Step 3
Install the slide rails into the rack:
a. Align one slide-rail assembly front end with the front rack-post holes that you want to use.
The slide rail front-end wraps around the outside of the rack post and the mounting pegs enter the
rack-post holes from the outside-front (see
Figure 2-2 ).
Note
The rack post must be between the mounting pegs and the open securing plate.
b.
Push the mounting pegs into the rack-post holes from the outside-front.
c. Press the securing plate release button, marked “PUSH.” The spring-loaded securing plate closes to
lock the pegs in place.
d.
Adjust the slide-rail length, and then push the rear mounting pegs into the corresponding rear
rack-post holes. The slide rail must be level front-to-rear.
The rear mounting pegs enter the rear rack-post holes from the inside of the rack post.
e.
Attach the second slide-rail assembly to the opposite side of the rack. Ensure that the two slide-rail
assemblies are at the same height with each other and are level front-to-back.
f. Pull the inner slide rails on each assembly out toward the rack front until they hit the internal stops
and lock in place.
