10 Quick Start Guide
Attach the Rail Slide Rail Brackets to the Equipment Rack
✏
NOTE
Mounting holes in the vertical rails of equipment racks are commonly
spaced in a 5/8 x 5/8 x 1/2-inch sequence. Perform the following steps
carefully; brackets must be mounted with precision to allow room for the
next server you install in a rack.
See Figure 6.
1.
Remove a right-angle extension bracket, two screws, and a bar nut from the kit.
2.
While facing the front or back of the rack, orient the right-angle extension bracket so that the
short side with the four mounting holes is facing toward the outside edge of the vertical rail.
3.
Position the bracket behind the mounting holes in the vertical rail.

With a pencil, mark the top and bottom hole locations of the bracket on both sides of the
vertical rail; no hole numbers are printed on the rail.
5.
Insert a screw through the marked top hole in the rail and through the top hole in the bracket.
Place a bar nut on the screw and loosely tighten it. Repeat for the marked bottom hole.
6.
Install the three remaining right-angle extension brackets on the other three vertical rails by
repeating steps 1–5 above.
