Installing the Slide Rails

To install the slide rails into a rack, complete the following steps:
Note: You may need to move other components in the rack to provide access for this installation. You will need to access both the front and rear of the rack.
Note: The slide rails may be installed in a rack with round or square holes.
  1. Ensure that the system and the 7226 Storage Enclosure are powered off.
  2. Each slide rail is marked with either an R (right) or an L (left) 1. Select one of the slide rails and push up on the front movable tab 2; then, pull out the front latch 3. Make sure that the front latch remains extended and does not click back into place.
