the inner rail faces outward, as illustrated.
Note: The front inner rail is pre-installed on the NDX 1U NAS server.

of the NDX NAS 1U Rack server.

Figure 6 .

Installing the Outer
Rails on the Rack
1 Attach the shorter outer rail to the outside of the longer outer rail. You must seat
the pin on the rear outer rail with the slide opening in front outer rail. Also, both
bracket ends must face the same direction.
2 Adjust both the shorter and longer brackets to the proper length so that the rail fits
snugly into the rack.
3 Secure the long rail to the front side of the rack with two M5 screws, top and
bottom holes and the short rail to the rear side of the rack with two M5 screws.
4 If the rack does not have threaded holes, install a clip nut or a cage nut in the back
side of the rail and use the cage nut/clip nut screws to secure the unit into the rack
(see Figure 7 below)
5 Repeat steps 1-4 for the remaining outer rail.
