Installing REO 4500x in 19-Inch Rack

WARNING:  Install multiple units in the rack from 
the bottom up. Extending a unit that has empty 
spaces beneath it might cause the rack to tip and 
cause injury or damage. Overland recommends 
that two people be used to insert or remove a unit.

Installing the Rail Kit

The REO 4500x comes with a rail kit for mounting the 
appliance in a 19-inch rack. These steps address the more 
common square-holed rack. Refer to the 

REO 4500 Setup 

Guide

 for installation in a rack with round holes.

1.

Fully extend the rails, slide the red button on the inner 
member forward, and remove the inner rail (

Figure 4

). 

Slide the intermediate member back in.

Identify and mark the screw holes on the front and rear 
rails of the rack where the sliding rails will be installed.

NOTE: Be sure rear holes are horizontally in line with the 
front holes to assure the unit remains level.

3.

Position the right inner rail against the appliance with 
the locking tabs going through the holes on the rail, and 
slide the rail toward the rear to lock the tabs (
