Preparing and Installing Rack-Mountable Rails
IMPORTANT:
The installation instructions in this section are for standard installations. For
specific installation instructions, please refer to the documentation included with your
component.
These are two types of rack-mountable rails:
•
Adjustable fixed rails
•
Sliding rails
Preparing the Adjustable Fixed Rails
Components mounted with adjustable fixed rails are typically designed to slide into
the rack one time for initial installation.
1.
Loosen the wing nuts (1) and extend the brackets to the desired length (2) for
each adjustable rail.
