Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver and an 11/32-inch wrench or nut driver, remove two
12-24 x 0.5-inch pan-head Phillips screws, two nuts, and two shoulder washers from
each front center bracket (see Figure 1-17).
3
Remove the front bracket from both slide assemblies.
4
Place the bracket from one slide assembly onto the threaded studs on the opposite
slide assembly, with the bracket turned 180 degrees so that the mounting flange faces
forward (see Figure 1-17).
5
Secure each front center mount bracket (by its nuts and shoulder washers) finger tight
on their opposite slide assemblies using the two shoulder washers and two nuts you
removed in step 2 (see Figure 1-17).
6
Join the front brackets you just installed to the bracket on the slide assembly with the
two 12-24 x 0.5-inch pan-head Phillips screws you removed in step 2 (see Figure 1-17).
The joined bracket becomes the new extended rear bracket.

Repeat step 4 through step 6 to configure the other slide assembly.

Holding the left slide assembly at the location you marked, position the extended rear
bracket tightly against the back of the vertical two-post rack and secure it to the two-
post rail with two 12-24 x 0.5-inch pan-head Phillips screws (see Figure 1-18).
9
Secure the front bracket on the slide assembly to the two-post rail with two
12-24 x 0.5 inch pan-head Phillips screws (see Figure 1-18).

Repeat step 8 and step 9 to install the right slide assembly in the rack.

brackets on both slide assemblies that you tightened with your fingers.
