greater than the depth of the rack.

Lift the slide assembly and tilt it sideways.

rack, keeping the slide assembly above the temporary support
screws.

When the rear brackets clear the rear retma rails, turn the slide
assembly right side up.

Place the slide assembly in the rack so that each bracket rests
on a temporary support screw.

outside of the rear retma rails.
