NSTALLATION 

(20”

 AND 

24”) 

The 20” and 24” slide hardware kits (Options 63 and 64, respectively) provide standard flanges to 
mount the slides into standard EIA relay racks. It should be noted that the slide flanges in the front 
should be installed behind the rack’s front panel mounting rails. This will allow the rackmounting 
ears  to  sit  flush  with  the  front  of  the  rack.  It  should  also  be  noted  that  although  the  hardware 
provided in this kit will provide all the necessary components to successfully install the CT-100C 
into a rack, there are many variations in how EIA relay racks are designed and additional adapter 
hardware may be required to install the chassis. Please refer to the relay rack manufacture’s catalog 
for additional options. 
 
This procedure provides instructions for installing the 20” or 24” slide kits. Note that the 20” and 
24” slide kits are identical except for the length of the slide units. A 20” slide kit is used when the 
chassis  is  flush  mounted  and  a  24”  slide  kit  is  used  when  the  chassis  is  recess  mounted.  Note, 
Option 59 must be purchased and installed prior to installing the rack slides.

Assembly Instructions 

1.  Lay the chassis on a protected work surface on its long side with the voltage monitor LEDs of 

the chassis facing front with the power switch toward the top. 

 
2.  If  the  rackmount  ears  were  installed  flush,  remove  the  rackmount  ears  and  install  the  front 

slide bracket to them as shown in the assembly drawing using a flat head screw driver. If the 
rackmount  ears  were  installed  recessed,  simply  install  the  slide  brackets  onto  the  ears  as 
shown on the following page. 

 
3.  Reinstall the rackmount ears (if necessary). 
 
4.

 

Install  the  top  and  bottom  slide  brackets  using  1/4”  Phillips  pan  head screws.  Note  that  the 
slide mounting holes should be oriented below the centerline of the chassis.
