Installing the slide rails into the rack

To install slide rails into the rack, use this procedure.

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.

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 in the front of the right slide rail A.

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

7. If you do not plan to transport this system, continue with Installing the HMC on the slide rails. 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. 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.
