Removing Inner Rail
1. Fully extend the rail assembly as shown below in figure below. The finger tab (D) for
the extension safety lock is revealed.
2. Press the finger tab and slide the inner rail (C) from the middle rail (B) until it completely
separates. (Note: The Middle and Outer rail can not be separated.)
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for 2nd rail
Attach Inner Rail to Chassis
1. Position an inner rail along one side of the chassis with the rail’s notched end (A)
extending out the back of the chassis.
2. Align the screw holes (B) in the rail with the screw holes on the chassis, and fasten it
with 4 x screws (C)

Mounting Brackets to Rails
Rail Bracket
Extend Outer Rail on side that has 3 holes, so that
there is access to holes from the inside.
Inner Hole Location
Using this screw/nut pair, push screw from the
inside, through the rail and bracket, and then
partially tighten the nut. Using the inner hole will
allow for mounting to shorter racks (29”).

Installing the Outer Rail
1. Install the front of the outer rail to the rack, using the screw/washer pairs shown. (Note:
the front of the rail is the side where the middle rail can extend out from.) Do not
completely tighten these front screws. Leave them loose enough to allow adjusting the
bracket position so that the middle rail can slide out the front smoothly. Once positioned
properly, the screws can be tightened.
Repeat installation of screw/nut pair for 2
nd
hole for
bracket.
Repeat the procedures on the previous pages for
mounting the 2 rail brackets to the second slide rail
Ensure that the middle rail slides smoothly out
the front of the rack, before tightening the rail
bracket to the rack.

2. Extend the outer rail bracket (A) to the back of the rack, and using 2 screw/washer
pairs, firmly tighten the bracket to the back of the rack.
3. From the side of the rack, tighten the 4 nuts that were used to partially secure the
brackets to the rails. (See alternate procedure on next page if access to the side of the
rack is not possible.)
4. Repeats steps from previous page and this page for attaching the 2nd outer rail to other
side of rack. Ensure that the brackets/rails are at the same height of rack.
5. Adjust the middle rail to about 2.5 inches from the front rack post. The length may be a
little different on different styles of cabinet. (If attaching rails to a 29 inch rack, there
may not be enough space to slide the middle rail back. If so, the ear bracket of platform
may not reach the front of rack.)

6. From the side of the rack, tighten the 4 hex nuts (A) that were used to partially secure
the brackets to the rails. (See alternate procedure on next page if access to the side of
the rack is not possible.)
Installing the Outer Rail – Alternate Procedure.
1. If access to the side of the rack is not possible, then the installer must first pre-measure
the depth of the rack from front to back.
2. On the bench, extend the rails to the measured depth and tighten the 4 nuts used to
attach the rail brackets to the rails.
3. Using the 4 x screw/washer pairs, attach the rail to the rack as described on previous
page.
4. Repeat Steps 1-3 for attaching the 2nd outer rail to other side of rack.

rails on the rack.
3. Slide the chassis toward the rear of the cabinet until the rails lock together.
4. Press and hold down the finger tabs (A) on both middle extension locks while sliding the
