Installing the Slide Assemblies
You can install the slide assemblies in a two-post, open-frame rack having either universal-
hole spacing (see Figure 1-13) or wide-hole spacing (see Figure 1-14). You can install the
slide assemblies in either a flush-mount or center-mount configuration.
CAUTION: Do not install another system using this rack kit. Use only the rack kit
intended for your system. Using the rack kit for another system may result in
damage to the system and personal injury to yourself and to others.
Center-Mount Installation
The two-post rack kit is shipped with the brackets configured for center-mount installation.
To complete the installation, perform the following steps:
1
Locate the right slide assembly and push the back bracket toward the back of the slide
assembly (see Figure 1-15).
2
Position the right slide assembly in the two-post rack at the location you marked, push
the back bracket forward against the vertical two-post rack, and secure the front and
rear center-mounting brackets to the rack with two 12-24 x 0.5-inch pan-head Phillips
screws (see Figure 1-15).
3
Repeat step 1 and step 2 to install the left slide assembly in the rack.
