Installing the Rack Rails

Determine where you want to place the SuperWorkstation 7046A-6 in the rack. (See 

Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3.) Position the fi xed rack rail/sliding rail 

guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide 

facing the inside of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the 

brackets provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making 

sure both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.
