e. Orient the rail tray as shown in

Figure 8

, and insert it into the rack

from the front. The slots in the sides of the rail tray must slide over
the posts on the rear rail-tray brackets, and the posts on the rail tray’s
front mounting flanges must be inserted in the center holes of RU1.

f. Insert M5 torx screws through the top holes in both of the rail tray

mounting flanges. The screws pass through the holes in the rack
uprights and thread into the Tinnerman nuts you installed on the
uprights in Step

3c

. Tighten the screws.
