Installing the slide rails into the rack

You might need to install slide rails into the rack. Use the procedure in this section to perform this task.

1. Insert the right-slide rail A marked "right" into the back-right rack mounting flange B locations. The two rail pins will protrude through the bottom and middle holes B on the EIA unit.
   
   Figure 1. Installing the right-slide rail into the back of the rack
2. Push on the end of the rail A to compress the rail's spring-loaded mechanism, and insert the rail into the front-right rack mounting flange B locations. The rail will decompress and the two rail pins will protrude through the bottom and middle holes B on the EIA unit.

3. Repeat these steps to install the left-slide rail marked "left" into the rack.
4. From the front of the rack, place the latch strike C over the pins. Finger-tighten the captive screw D into the top pin of front of the right-slide rail A.

5. Repeat step 4 to install the latch strike on the front of the left-slide rail.
6. Move to the back of the rack.
7. Insert screw F to attach the cable-management arm mounting bracket E to the back of the left rail G. Finger-tighten the screw.

8. The cable-management arm support bracket can be used to secure the cable-management arm during transport. If the mechanism is engaged after the cable-management arm is installed, you will not be able to slide the system from the rack. If you do not plan to transport this system, continue with the next step. If you plan to transport this system, insert screw I to attach the cable-management arm support bracket H to the back-right rail A. Finger-tighten the screw.
