You might need to install rails into the rack. Use the procedure
in this section to perform this task.
To install the standard (fixed length) rails, complete the steps
in this section. If you have the expandable rail set, refer to Installing the expandable rails and extension bracket into the rack.
- From the back of the rack, note the position of the two placement
dots B, or marks, previously installed on the front
EIA strips. Install the rack-alignment pins for the left rail into the corresponding
EIA holes located in the left front EIA strip A.
- From the back of the rack, align the rails with the two placement
dots B or marks, previously installed on the front
EIA strips. Loosely thread two retaining screws C into
each rail, at the corresponding EIA strip holes.
A |
two front placement dots per rail |
B |
two back placement dots per rail |
C |
four retaining screws per rail |
Figure 1. Installing the rails.
