firmly and pull it forward until the
rail standoffs are at the front of the
J-slots. Lift the system up and
away from the rack and place it on
a level surface.
NOTE:
For systems not equipped
with slam latches, secure the
system using screws, as described
in step 3 of this procedure.
(
1

automatically as the system is
pushed into the rack and are
released by pulling up on the
latches.
