- When you first install the slide rails and you fully extended the rail, you can lift the locking
mechanism to release the rail so it can slide back into the main part of the unit.
- When you install the switch in a rack and then pull the switch out, this mechanism
automatically locks the slide rail in a fully extended position.
• Retaining latch—These latches are on the front and back of the slide rails. Use the hooks on
these latches to wrap around the frame of the equipment rack and lock the rail into place.
