Identifying the Rail Kit Contents
2.
Installing and Removing Tool-Less Rails (Square Hole or Round Hole Racks)
Locate the components for installing the
rail kit assembly:
1 - Two A7 ReadyRails II sliding rail
assemblies
2- Two hook and loop straps
(
1
) Position the left and right rail end pieces
labeled FRONT facing inward and orient
each end piece to seat in the holes on the
front side of the vertical rack flanges.
(
2
) Align each end piece in the bottom and
top holes of the desired U spaces.
(
3
) Engage the back end of the rail until it
fully seats on the vertical rack flange and
the latch clicks into place. Repeat these
steps to position and seat the front end
piece on the vertical rack flange.
(
4
) To remove the rails, pull the latch release
button on the end piece midpoint and
unseat each rail.

4.
Installing the System in a Rack
(
1
) Remove the pins from the front and
rear mounting brackets using a flat-tipped
screwdriver.
(
2
) Pull and rotate the rail latch
subassemblies to remove them from the
mounting brackets.
(
3
) Attach the left and right mounting rails
to the front vertical rack flanges using two
pairs of screws.
(
4
) Slide the left and right back brackets
forward against the rear vertical rack
flanges and attach them using two pairs of
screws.
(
1
) Pull the inner slide rails out of the rack
until they lock into place.
(
2
) Locate the rear rail standoff on each side
of the system and lower them into the rear
J-slots on the slide assemblies.
(
3
) Rotate the system downward until all the
rail standoffs are seated in the J-slots.
(
4
) Push the system inward until the lock
levers click into place. Press the slide-
release lock buttons on both rails and slide
the system into the rack.

Removing the System From the Rack
6.
Engaging and Releasing the Slam Latch
(
1
) Locate the lock levers on the sides of
the inner rails.
(
2
) Unlock each lever by rotating it up to its
release position.
(
3
) Grasp the sides of the system 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
) Facing the front, locate the slam latch on
either side of the system.
(
2
) The latches engage automatically as the
system is pushed into the rack and are
released by pulling up on the latches.
(
3
) To secure the system for shipment in the
rack or for other unstable environments,
locate the hard-mount screw under each
latch and tighten each screw with a #2
Phillips screwdriver.
