the lowest available position in the rack.
CAUTION: Never pull more than one component out of the rack at a time.

the system in the slide assemblies by yourself.

Place one hand on the front-bottom of the system and the other hand on the back-
bottom of the system.

Tilt the back of the system down while aligning the back shoulder screws on the sides
of the system with the back slots on the slide assemblies.

Lower the front of the system and engage the front shoulder screws in the front slot
behind the system release latch (see Figure 1-7).
